67 Stang Coupe Tire And Wheels

Hunter7158 · June 1st, 2009, 10:54 PM

HELP! Thats the first thought that comes to mind when I start to think of fitting wheels and tires that I bought offline, getting them to the garage and hoping they fit. I know that I like the American Racing Shelby Wheels

Torque Thrust

Part # AR-605MS-7865C

On this site...

They look sweet, I want at least 17-18' wheels

Also I want some major meats on the back like 315-335 like the Toyo R888...

Probably the 275s up front, but same tread pattern as back,

How do i find a good fitment guide and know that i order the right stuff.

I want to order good wheels that will last me a while and will keep their chrome finish.... GdyUp

315-335 is used for rims with a 10.5 width if not more. Recommended tire for 17x8s is 245/45R17.

Countryboy_99 · June 2nd, 2009, 01:21 AM

They are great looking rims. I think they'd look better as 15'' with big ol' meaty radials but its your car and you who decides. Go for it.

Welcome to MM Forums

The wheels look great, Make sure when ordering that the back spacing is not more than 5.5"

Thanks everyone for responding so quickly... Ok so if 315-335 tires are used with 10.5 wide wheels, then what wheels would be good.... Yeah the size of the wheels dont really matter to me. I just want big meats... any suggestions of combos of some nice lookin wheels with huge ASS tires? lol Thanks

Hunter7158 · June 3rd, 2009, 03:09 PM

Ok now that I though more about it, i really dont care about the wheels. As long as they arent completely ugly, I just want 315-335 back tires and should i go 275s up front? Also what kind of tires should I get? I have been lookin at Toyo Tires R888, but I dont know, what do you all recommend. If you all could recommend a rear 315-335 tire and wheel choice, and a front tire and wheel choice... that would be great, thanks

I believe you're going to have rubbing issues when you turn if you have 275s up front.

MustangOne · June 3rd, 2009, 05:29 PM

Hey Hunter,

That is a good looking tire.

But have you look at the size of the tire you are talking about?
You might want to take a tape and mesure how much room you have.
You do want to drive this car Right?

Hunter7158 · June 3rd, 2009, 10:51 PM

What tire and wheel choice would you suggest? I want to hook up like no tomorrow... also I want the semi thick back tires for a nice Musclecar look...

stang66myway2 · June 3rd, 2009, 11:16 PM

I would go with the 275/40/17 Rears and the 245/45/17 Fronts

Hunter7158 · June 4th, 2009, 05:19 PM

Ok thanks M1. Those tires look very wide and fit the car perfectly. What tires are those?

Hey M1 what size wheels are those? What are the widths for the front and rear wheels...?

Hunter7158 · June 20th, 2009, 01:00 PM

Wheels

Winfield Custom Designed Wheels: Front - 17" x 8" Rear - 18" x 9.5"

Saw this off your website, how do the 18" x 9.5" wheels fit under the back? what backspacing do you have on the wheels? and where did you get them?? thanks M1... couldnt do this without you...

MustangOne · June 22nd, 2009, 04:18 PM

These are the wheels we are using
18X11 with a 6.5" back space Rear
17X8 with a 5" back space front

This is the tire were using

275/40/18 Rear 245/45/17 Front

Hunter7158 · June 22nd, 2009, 08:03 PM

Thanks... love those tires...

Hunter7158 · August 20th, 2009, 11:40 AM

Thanks everyone... I ended up ordering the Rocket Booster Chrome Wheels. 18x9 Rear 17x8 Front Will there be issues in the back with a 9 inch wide wheel?
