Holy Big Wheels batman

The rear susp looks like a Unique Performance setup.

That's sweet! If I had the money I'd love to have that car. '68 was the year I was born.

I like the car but not too crazy about 315s in the front. Way too wide IMO. I love the steam rollers in the back but would go with a 245-275 in the front.

i think the performance advantage of having the 315 on the front over the 245 to 275 is pretty substantial. i would love to have that option.

315 on front


i drive my car daily on the roads, it´s not a show car. with 225 or 235/45 on the front. why did you guys run with over-larged wide tires ?
when i read all the postings in the wheels and tire section....its amazing when i´m read the tire sizes on the front axles.
ok, cool looking....but for a good ride ?? Nope !
ball-joints, bushings, steering arms, the complete suspension must hard work with this tires.
245 or wider tires in front ? never.
you will lose handling and steering quality and short life suspension parts.

this is my view about big front tires



now you can say: this guy is crazy and have no experience, he lives in Europe.
but fact is: not allways is bigger the better way
