Wheels-Tires 67 Shelby clone, Shelby 10 spokes or Vintage Wheels v50

[mikec35]

I'm still trying to decide what wheels I want on my clone, what do you think is the better choice, Vintage Wheel Work's v50's or Shelby 10 spokes? I am thinking 15 x 7's, not sure what size tires I want. Suggestions for either of the 2 wheels mentioned and tire size would be great. I had 14 x 7's on a 67 couple with 235/60/14's years ago and I thought they looked great...

ten spokes or 67 shelby mag stars ,on a 7" rim 235 15s and you may be able to use 245 15s .they cleared on my 70 fastback and a 67 has a prety good sized wheel opening.

I have 10 spokes on my car and run 225/50 on the front and 245/50 on the back. However be warned: in order for 50 series 15's to look right, your car needs to be pretty low or you'll end up with the wheels and tires looking too small. I saw a pic of a '67 that had something like 235 rear and 215 fronts in 60 series tires and it looked right without the car being all that low. I love the look and feel of my car being pretty low, but I need to be careful when going over speed bumps or into gas stations.

I'd go with the 10 spokes or Magstars in 15x7 and 225 60 or 235 60 tires.
