65 Fastback Correct Wheel Offset? Torq Thrust

Rich King · Nov 27, 2014

Hi all, i have a 65 fastback, its slightly lower in the front and I have torq thrust wheels in 15". I want to get 17s or 18s and was wondering whats the bst way to determine the offset. What is the best wheel size/package for a 65. Front suspension is total control, rear is stock.

Anyone with a 65 with a combo that works can you put up a side view pic please? Thanks, Rich King

17x7 4" bs for the front and rear or you can run a 17x8 I think 4.5 bs for the rear. 17x8s too wide for the front really.. I got some in with 245/45 up front, but have trimmed fenders

I have had 17s and 18s. The 17's were 7 in the front and 8 in the back with a 4.75bs. This allow you to use a wider tire(255+).A 4.5" BS will kick the wheel out towards the fender lip and a 5" BS will bring it in towards the leaf spring.

I now have 18X8 in the front and 18X9.5 in the rear and did endless measuring to make them fit with little modifications.I plan to get narrowed leafs later on and do some fender massaging.
