So I have made up my mind that i am getting 225/60R15 In the front But What I want to Know Is how big can I go in the rear. As in stock.. I will be ordering some leaf springs 5 leaf reverse eye and and new pair of kony shocks.
I was thinkin about 16 inch rims with 10 wide with 6.25 BS
would that work? I dont know about the tire size.

Also would A 8 inch wide rim fit up front?

8" rim up front would work fine, but I'm not sure about the 10" wheel in the back. I have 17 x 9 wheels with ~6" BS spaced out .5" on each side with 275 40 17 tires. The tires are about 1/4" from the leaf springs.

I'm running 15x10s w/ 295/50R15s in the rear of my '70fb with slightly rolled fender lips. Unless the '67s fender wells are larger than the '70s, I don't think you'll get 16x10s to work without some fender mods, depending upon what size tire you're using of course. There not great but here of some pics of my car to get an idea the clearance.

i have 18x8 on the rear of my 65. Not sure 10" will fit. I have to "bend" part of the inner well to allow room for the 8" wheels. Leafs are also getting close at 8"

Yea thats a little too wide for me i want them tucked away in side the fender well with out rolling it

Whats your backspacing bdepedro

Here is My selection..

Front 225/60R15 on a 8" wide rim
Rear 285/60R16 on a 9" wide rim

My wheels have a 5" backspacing. My tires really don't stick out beyond the fender lips but again, they have been rolled slightly. It seems to me that 285/60R16s should work for you but I would talk to your wheel/tire supplier to see if they can confirm that. Surely there are other folks out there running a comparable sized wheel/tire combo on a '67 that could confirm it as well. Good luck!
