Hi there, I am thinking of purchasing a set odf Cragar SS wheels and tires for my 69. What sizes do you reccomend for a nice stance and fit? also what tires also?

Thanks,

Wheels Tires and Stance are hugely opinionated. You can see my car in my profile I have 15" rims and 26" MT Tires, but some of the Stance is springs and other suspension components. Then again not everyone likes the Stance I have on my car anyway. Only you can figure that one out.

Yup, but I'm looking for opinions :) Your car looks great IMO!

17's or 18's Gary and a tire suggestion is Nitto Extreme 555. I'm using Nitto 285/40/18 and 245/40/18... wheel size 18X8 and 18X10

Thanks brother Rich, I do really like yours, but I am thinking after having 18's on my car which the Budniks are awesome quality wheels and a pro touring look, that I now want something that will look more period to the car. I'm not sure I want 15's though, maybe 17's, I dunno......................

Watch out for 16's Gary, very few choices on nice tires.
