I have a 78 2 dr Fury; (maroon) and want something different from the OEM hubcaps/plain wheels;
I like the "big n littles" look. though unlike my teen and early 20s years (which were during the Reagan years) now a days, though I'd go wide out back and skinnier up front, I'd run the same circumference
(I had 225-75R15s out back with 195/75R15s up front of my 75 Doba, partly because I ran what I could find collecting dust--old stock that I could buy cheaply on the shelves of the Sears I worked at, in the late 80s)
nowadays I'd probably go 245/60s out back and 215/70s or225/70s up front, closer total diameter to each other than I ran back then......
I have a set of 14" Ansen style alum slots; IDK if the 14s will clear the calipers. covering the 10" drums out back won't be a problem.
I also have a PAIR of 15X7 Keystone Klassics and am thinking of looking for a matching pair in 15X6, 15X7 OR 15X8
would these rims look silly on my car?
Squad car wheels (in same color as the body) is another consideration as well as Torq Thrusts;
or the old "nugget" type wheels that were popular in the 80s; I'd like to find a set that was "anodized" red; they had chrome, gold, red, black and blue versions of these wheels back then; if I could find a set now a days;
my kid likes teh old "vectors" or Hurricanes" like the General Lee; and alot of 80s trucks came with.
