I am getting a set of welds for my 67. was wondering what anyone has run with welds. Looking at 15X8 with 4.5 backspacing and 15x4 with 2.5 back spacing for the fronts. Also whats the biggest rear wheel, was hoping for 275/60-15 with any luck. Running 17" bullets now with 275/40-17 and it looks like I have plenty of room.

thanks for the info.

Dave

I think they'll probably rub. My 70 had 15 x 8s with 4.25 backspacing and 255/60/15s and they rubbed slightly on one side. Your 67 doesn't have as much room as mine.

Let's see your car. I am running 15x8 all of the way around. I need to go verify the backspacing, but I believe that mine is 4.5 all the way around. And I have a Versaille rear which is 2" narrower.

My wheels are the Weld Draglites. You can see pics on my cardomain site linked below the pic.
