66 Skylark Wheel and Tire What Fits?

[Vicious6]

I have a stone stock 66 Skylark complete with steel wheels and caps. What size wheels and tires will fit as far as backspacing, width, and tire sizes. Thinking of going with Weld Draglites or possibly Torque Thrust Ds. Help? :Do No:

I put stock 15x7 rallies on mine, which are 4 3/8" backspace and 235/60-15 tires. There is a little bit more room between the inside of the rim and wheelhouse, but not much.

The early cars suffer from small wheel house syndrome! '68 up can fit a much larger tire.

I would suggest measuring very carefully if going with a custom rim/tire package. Make sure you measure BOTH sides! It is very common to find a fairly large difference from one side to the other.
