Here's a few pics of my new wheels. I have yet to install the hydroboost and some brake lines so I haven't yet driven it to know if they will rub anywhere. I'm thinking the back will when I go up a driveway at an angle (pretty tight back there).
Front: 18x8 5" b/s w/245/45's
Rear: 18x10 6" b/s w/295/45's
12 bolt is out of a 68-72
Goodmark 2" steel cowl hood is just setting there, not bolted on yet.
First attempt to post pix, any advice on sizing would be appreciated. (too big)

just make them links like this :

with a warning for size.

I have my explorer browser set so it resizes them in their own window for easier viewing. You could also put them on webshots which will resize them for easier viewing too. BTW They look nice.

EDIT: looks like you can't link them from the original page but you can copy and paste the link in another browser window to view.

Car looks great man!

Are you running Nitto drag radials in the rear?

How much wider is that rear then a stock '67?

As for the front, do you think there's room for anything more? Like an 18x9 with a 275/35?

For those who may not be able to see the pic, copy and past the url into your address window, I had to.

I originally wanted to run nitto's 305/45 18 drag radial, but no way without trimming the lip. The next size down on the drag radial was alot narrower so I went with the 295/45 18 which is not much smaller but fit. The front 245/45's are close to the fender but you might be able to go wider if it's in a shorter sidewall like a 40 or 35 series, but I personally prefer the 45 series on muscle cars, it just gives you more sidewall and looks better. The rearend is 1" wider than a stock 67. Brad.

An 18x9 wheel with 5.5 backspace and 275/35/18 tire should fit.
