Here we go again... I couldnt find much on 16" Wheel fitment so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'd like to run 245/50/16 - 255/50/16 in the front and 275/50/16 - 295/50/16 in the back. Thats an overall tire diameter of 27.61 in the back and 25.65 in the front. (roughly, if Im using 295 in the back and 245 in the front) My first question is, what backspacing should I go with to make these fit and look the best... Second question is, does anyone have a photo of their car with similiar sized wheels/tires (OD is really all I care about being the same... I want to make sure that is going fill the fenders enough for my taste). I am going for the Vintage NASCAR look with my wheel and tire selection (with a little bit of modernizing for ease of fitment with bigger brakes). Any suggestions are MORE than welcome... Thanks, Eric
I have 245/50/16 BFG KDWS's all the way around on my stock height GS. Everyone that sees the car really likes the way it looks. I bought Torque Thrust Ds (American Racing). With the stock offset, a wider tire would rub the outer wheel well. This picture is when the tires were on my 70 Lark with sagging original springs though.
Holy crap! It works! Here's a couple more. I downloaded Easy Thumbnails from the net (someone posted it here). :TU:
