    Deep Dish bullitts on a 65...how??

    I am running 245/45/17 only the tire rubs, not the rim. a 4.75 B/S rim would fit better , but Coy's only offers a 4½ b/s. even after trimming the fender lip mine still occasionally rubs, so I added air-shocks to keep it from bottoming out. if you went with 225/45/17 you would probably not...

    I have 17" X 8" rims on the back of my 65 with 4½" backspacing. They have a deep lip. I did have to trim the rear fender lip though.

    WHICH YEAR 302?

    17x8 wheels up front??

    If you are not set on that particular brand you could go with Coy C-5's. They look almost identical and are availabe in 17 x 7. I put 17 x 8 with 4.½ B.S. on the rear of my 65 and 17 x 7 4¼ B.S. on the front

    Rims don't fit!

    They might work if you use 1"spacers, that would make 4.5" backspace. I am running 245/45/17 with 4.5 backspacing, and had to roll the fenders. you will probably have to go with smaller tires
