What backspacing did you go with and what tires did you wrap them in? BTW, what color is the car, I love it! Thanks. Tires are 235/45-17 Nitto 555 front and 275/40-17 Nitto Extreme DR on rear. The BS for the rears is 5.5" Wheels are Budnik M5 FL. Color is HOK Tru-Blue Pearl over a white basecoat. Cam Jun 21st, 05, 5:54 PM Looks tuff! I'm running stock 14x5s with replacement 195/75R14s, slightly stuffy. Tell me, I notice blue Calfornia plates; what time span did those plates get used (1970 - early / mid 80s?). Thanks. proform Jun 21st, 05, 7:22 PM I like it!!! What are you running for front and rear suspension, spindles and brakes? Pat 1hot67 Jun 21st, 05, 7:30 PM I like it!!!

Factory front discs/spindles and rear drums. 1hot67 Jun 21st, 05, 7:33 PM Tell me, I notice blue Calfornia plates; what time span did those plates get used (1970 - early / mid 80s?). Thanks. Don't quote me, but I want to say the blue plates were phased out in ~1983, and I believe they were phased in ~1971. My plates came with the car and were originally ordered for the previous owner's wife's Corvette. I like 'em. Clint44 Jun 22nd, 05, 12:52 AM All basically stock for now. Factory front discs/spindles and rear drums. That's very interesting. Sounds like we might have found that elusive 66 or 67 with 10" wide rear wheels. What size rear tires? 1hot67 Jun 22nd, 05, 1:32 AM That's very interesting. Sounds like we might have found that elusive 66 or 67 with 10" wide rear wheels. What size rear tires? 275/40-17 Nitto drag radials. I could have easily got 285/40-17's to fit, and maybe even 295's. 1967talldeck427 Jun 22nd, 05, 11:13 PM Yep, 295/45 18's in the back http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/562000-562999/562568_2_full.jpg onabudget Jun 23rd, 05, 1:17 PM These were all at the Pismo car show last weekend. 17x7 fronts, 17x10 rears. Whats the tire size and b/s on the fronts??? 1hot67 Jun 23rd, 05, 8:02 PM I believe the fronts are 17x7 with a 4.125" BS 69boo307 Jun 24th, 05, 9:55 AM nice! Jonos67 Jul 3rd, 05, 7:56 PM those budniks look sweet man. I am looking to put 17x7 Torq Thrust II's on my 67 convertible and 18x8 in the rear but i dont know what backspacing to go with. I bought some 17x7's but the 4" backspacing made them stick out way too far and they would rub because of how low the front end sits. What backspacing should I use?

Stick out too far?? Since 17x9.5's with 5.75" backspacing will fit on the front,it's kinda hard to fathom 17x7's with 4" backspacing would stick out too far. Just doesn't make sense. | ||
