Finally - Pictures

[1965-Mustang]

If you hadn't seen my other thread they are:
Billet Specialties Street Star 17x8/4.75 bs.
Tires: Nittos 555
rear: 255/40/17
front: 235/45/17

These pictures are with original suspension. I am replacing the rear shocks, shackles and leaf springs this week with KYB's, poly shackles, and maeir racing low leaf springs. They have the slightest of rub on the rear passenger side and I am hoping with the combination of new suspension and a hammer they will cease rubbing. The inner wheelhouse seems to be very warped/stressed from time so it contacts on an irregular protrusion.

Nice ride, will look killer once you get that rear end out of the air.....

Nice ride man. You got some serious meat under that thing... 255s? Wow!

Well, a big enough hammer will cure the rubbing issue , if you bang the fender openings out enough. Even with 4.75" bs, I don't think that 255s will fit inside the stock wheel wells once you lower the rearend. I hope you make it, though.

255s fit just fine under the fenders on a lowered car, been running them for over 4 years now. Just need a rolled lip.

BTW - the new wheels look good. I see disc brakes in your future.

I'm not going to hit the fender/lip with a hammer...I mean on the inside wheel house (trunk side), where it is already warped...

Yeah, thanks for your chart and info, it is your car that made me choose 255's over 245's or 235's.

Yes, yes you do. As soon as my bank account allows...im in college.
