70 rear wheel and tire offset

[guinnp 10]

I'm looking to putting 18 inch wheels on the rear and 17's up front of my 70 stang, the wider the better. i need help with offset and tire size with doing a mini tub. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Not sure what you can squeeze in there with a mini tub.

Without mini tubs I'm squeezing a 315/35 17 wheel has 6.9 backspacing and 27mm offest.

Rear lips are rolled.

Thanks for your response, i meant to say without mini tub. If anyone has any additional info wheel and tire sizes it would be greatly appreciated.

All all depends on how wide the wheel is.

My 70 has a more narrow axle then stock

About 9mm on each side. I just ordered

17x9.5 -6 offset PSE wheels and 315 nitto tires

Is this with stock leafs or coil overs? How tight are they to the lip and frame? Pics would be awesome.

Thanks for your help, I'm seriously thinking about going with 18inch wheels in the rear. If theres anyone out there that has installed 18's on a 70 fastback please share knowledge.

I am running 18X10 out back and 17X8 up front. Using Bullitt Wheels that fit the 94-04 cars. 1" spacer up front. Rolled fender lips and made some clearance for the front inner fender well.

 

Was running 305/35 Nitto DR, but recently went down to 285/35 as I it would scrape every now and then and just finally annoyed me enough I wanted to go to something slightly smaller. 245/45/17 up front.

Using 2" lowered leafs.

I installed new full quarters and outer wheel tubs and decided to roll the lips also just in case I decided to use some big rubber back there, glad I did.

I am putting in a one piece floor also and while I have the floor out I am going to massage the lower front inner wheel tub and cut the new floor accordingly.
