Default Wheel and Tire Suggestions

Looking for some wheel and tire size suggestions. Ride height is stock. Disk Brake conversion on the front and drums on the back. I did go from mono-leaf to multi-leaf springs in the back so not sure about the ride height in the back.

Color is Arctic White with blue Rally Stripes. It's a true 67 RS but not numbers matching so I am doing it my way.

You can Chevrolet Center caps on the wheels you have lThere are all sorts of wheels tire combos you can run on your car .From Ralley wheels .Slots to Torque Thrust wheels . I would check ot the Magazines of that era if that the way you want to go.

I prefer the rally wheel look myself. Your back end is riding a bit high, were the rear shackles snubbed down after the wheels were back on the ground?

I have the rally caps for these rims. My concern is that they are 9.5 inch rims with 4.5" backspacing. Not sure how much tire I can get on the front without them rubbing. These tires were just so I could roll it.



I am not sure on the rear shackles. I have to buy spacers since it was a conversion from mono to multi-leaf and the shop that did the work did not put them in. I was planning on loosening everything up and resetting the car. I read on one of the posts here to not tighten everything up until the car was on the ground with some weight in it. I will take any suggestions on setting the ride height.

The ride height would depend on the "look" and what you want to do with the car.
