'66 Rear Tire Survey

[NewStangOwnr]

How many of you guys run bigger than 245's on the rear of your 66's? What is your setup?

Thanks for the info!

MH Streets, 26x10.5x15" (10.5" overall width, 8.5" tread width), with 7x15" Specialty Wheels & 3 3/4" backspace.

That is just about max what you will be avle to fit into the rear wheel openings of a 65-66...

I fit a set of BFG DR's @ 255/50 16's. I had a little rub on one side but that is another issue.

Cool. Either way I am going to minitub it just for the clearance. I cannot hook worth a **** on 225s

255/40/17 on the rear and 225/45/17 on the front. had to roll the rear fenders.

Gives a little rake and not too wide of tire in the front, and pretty much as wide as i can fit in the stock rear housing.
