well guys I am still going crazy trying to figure out rim and tire size to go with
leaning towards 18 (95%) sure of or maybe 19 ( my car in black with a 20 near it ) but 20's seem to big ?
for 18 what do I need for back spacing extra
here is a 67 gto with 20 inch wheels it does' nt look tooo bad but it is kinda getting 4x4 ish - as far as the chrome thing not a big fan
your thoughts on spacing or rim or what i need to do - I do not want to lower the car to much at all ?

I think if you lower it will be the key alot of
people put big wheels on their car and they
dont lower it enough. Nice looking Black car though.
Let us know what you end up doing.
I agree, the black car looks great.
Please, NO chrome wheels. :_paranoid

hahhahahahhaha
you get a better reaction here than on the old fo-ggy PY forums with that question.. i felt for ya, i really did.
anyways.
20 in the rear and 19s up front for that car i would do.. theres another guy on here doing a 66 gto with that combo, you should holler at him too. ill try and figure his name out. and you MUST lower it to make those combos look good.
btw the black one is delicious..

18" in front, 20" in back. There is a lot of wheel well sapce to fill up in the rear.
Are you upgrading the suspension? If not stick with your 18" wheels.
You have to remember with an 18" wheel and a low profile tire, the total size is no bigger than a 14" rim with GR7014 tire. My front wheels with 18" rim's measure a 1/4" less then the original size. Go firqure.... :lol:

lmao, good one!
thanks for the advice ... Roger please please please send me pics of your car
any back spacing issues with it ?
really need to see it to get an idea ...
yeah PY forums was pretty bad I had some private messages coming in asking me if I was black, and maybe thats why you want to ruin "our" cars
to that I responded yo yo yo willis wht u talkin about .... lol ... - there are some really backwards thinking people out there - and then just the reponses in general, they almost reduced me to tears, but then again Im married and the misses does that to me bi weekly basis anyway
