I know this is on here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. I found the chart, but I have some more questions. I want to run a 16 or 17 inch wheel by 7 or 8, doesn't matter. What backspacing and tire do i need. I don't want to roll the fenders, put on a neg wedge kit, or do the shelby a arm mod. The car is a 65 fastback with front discs. I'm using the 4 1/2 leaf mideye leafsprings, with 620 1 inch drop front springs. Please help.

I have been trying to figure this one out as well. The chart above only does 14 and 15in rim sizes. Does anybody have 16s or 17s on their car? What did you have to do to make em fit? Ive asked a couple of people and some have said 17s will fit and others had to roll the lip. JR
