Ok, I know there are several posts very similar to this, but I still can't find the exact info I need. I am hoping someone can lead me correctly. I have a 67 coupe. I want to put 16 inch wheels on it. I want to widest possible, and don't care if my fronts are different than the rears. I've seen the charts, but don;t know if they are acurate, and I assume that they are using the widest posible for the front. I hear that some people are using 9.5 inch wide tires in the rear, that would be great, but I don;t want anything to rub. It has basically stock suspension, front is lowered about an inch, rear is stock height (I just got 5 leaf springs for it, standard eye). Thanks for your help!

Wide tires
I put 17x8's, 235 mm wide (9.25") on the front and back, and the fit in the front and rear are just fine (Plenty more room in the rear). I had to use 1" wheel adapters on the front to get the wheels to clear the upper control arm.
Be prepared for a major increase in bump steer if you still have stock suspension and steering box. A bumpy or 'groovy' road will push you all over the place
Good luck!
