I am looking for the biggest wheels i could fit under and along with a stock rear end. im actually looking for a 15x10.5 or 11. if any one has some sizes that would be great. diameter, width, backspace etc

 

15x10 with 5.5 bs fits with a little inner fender clearance at the front....

 

cool what size tire would you recomend?

 

what kinda tire you going to run?? slicks or street radials or drag radials....lots of things to factor in.....I ran 295/50/15 when I had steert tires on mine.....do a search....lots of opinions on tire size

 

well i want to run tubed slicks but with tire wheel being a 5.5" bs pretty much anything with fit huh

 

i have centerlines on my set up the rear is a 10" wheel with 3.5-4.0 back space and i have 325-50r 15s and there are no clearance issues(also i can fit a 28-11.50 slick). the rear wheel sticks out a little but i dont think it looks bad. some others whould tend to disagree. i do not think that a 325 will fit with 5.5 of back-space but i could be wrong. I am running a 4.5 wheel in the front with a 165 tire. it has a mean a** stance. Good luck.

 

those would have to stick out with that back spacing. I had 29.5/9.0/15 slicks on mine before and those really filled out the wheel wells, but 29.5 is a little too tall for theses cars. 28.0" would be good height. It all depends on your conbination and axle ratio...

with 5.5 bs wheel is almost even with the rear quarter lip....15x10 wheels

 

go to body and appearance and you can see a pic of the car with the slicks on it.
the post name is cowlhood and i just posted it to the top.

 

you have a nice looking ride. those wheel look like they stick out to me. everyone has different tastes thou. I perfer tires to be tucked in.

 

thanks! the rear wheels i ended up with i picked up at a local swap meet for a good price i will end up buying the right off-set when i get the extra cash and i find that i cant take the tire sticking out the amount that it does. It works for the time being even if it doesnt look the best.

 

so you will agree a 15x10 with 5in bs. and a 26 or 27 inch by 10 inch tire will be ok, that's actually what i had my eye on. thanks guys i appriciate it and yes your car does look pretty good. I have a four inch cowl in the garage but its not on yet!
