will 17x9 rims fit 235 tires? Or will i need 245 or higher? I have a 66 and i've heard the largest tires that'll fit are 245s if your lucky. I'm talking about not cutting out the wheel wells or modifying anything...thats too hard.
Even if the rim is only 2" wide? LOLThe smallest tire you can fit on a 17" is a 245 I believe.

Is 17 x8 with 4.75 backspace the best rim for running on 66 coup even if I'm running 225 45 17s I will be doing Shelby drop but was wondering how much rubbing 225 45 s will have bone stock I'm going with the 225 45 17 s all around for several reasons highest being I found a deal on that size VOGUE high performance 60000 mile warranty tires 77 bucks each I'm also buying B and G rod works old school gunmetal 17x8 rims with 4.75 backspace or I can get 17x8 s with 4.5 backspace and wondering if I am correct in thinking 4.5 would stick a quarter inch further out ?Did you all forget my chart!!!!!
Sheesh I get a job and can't post during the day anymore and what happens....you all forget me.
