Tire & Wheels Combo for Classic Roadster
Looking to put on halibrand style knock-offs on my classic roadster cobra. Current wheels on the car are as follows
Foose Nitrous Wheels Front 15x8 245/60/15 Rear 15x8 275/60/15 Not sure on back spacing. Want to go to halibrand style wheels from Compmotive, American Racing or Vintage Wheels. Thinking of the following set-up Front 15x7 or 15x8 245/60/15 same back space as current wheels as they fit nice Rear 15x10 preferably 275/60/15 or 295/50/15 need help on back space for 10" wheel I assume a 10" wheel will fit on a CR kit with 8.8 Mustang rear. Recommendations are welcomed Can't post pics on here yet so no pic posted yet. |
Not sure about your CR wheel wells but if you like the 15x8 w/245/60 and they fit well then stay with that combo or go down to a 235/60.......on the rear15x10 is a lot of wheel you can use the back spaceing to get an 8 inch wheel out where you want it but i would stick with the 275/60 even if you go with the 10 inch wheel i think a 50 series tire is just to short and remember you will change the reading on your speedo if you go to a shorter tire..........
