I went through this too. Here's 3 tire combos on the same car to help you decide. This was 235 60 and 255 60. All 15 x 8 4.5 bs This was 245 60 and 275 60 (same wheels). This is 255 60 and 275 60. I wanted a second set of wheels for changing up the look. I used the 255s I already had and...

I went through the same thing. I like the stock wheel look on these cars but wanted a second set just to switch things up when I'm in the mood. These are 8' wheels all around 275 60 rears both and 245 60 steel and 255 60 t-thrust fronts.

If you see witness marks from the outer rockers maybe try a steel core gasket... those things are pretty thick.

Another angle

I hate non-follow up posts so here we go; Decided on the wheels a while ago... was just waiting for some extra money to buy them. This isn't the cheapest hobby on a pension... lol Anyways, I want to keep the old school look so I went with these; 15x8 (4.5bs) all around 255/ 60 and 275/60...

For me it's white letters out on stock or factory rallyes (to keep them from looking too plain) and black wall for mags (flashy enough). Depends on the car and what look you're after too.

Got any pics?

Very nice!

The "heat" is Bob and yourself. On your way out please gather up Bob and close the door behind you. Thanks.

Nobody made me the police but he called my car tackey and bragged about his in the middle of my unrelated post. He was obviously looking for a response with a statement like that. He got one.

Your car looks great. Do the fronts ever rub? Cheers

Hey, in this thread, we were having an intelligent conversation about wheel and tire combinations. Perhaps you and your opinion can wait outside until we're done. Thanks.

Regarding the QF 450's. It's no 440 Dodge but I have them on a little 327 with an old school 280 Isky Mega (108lsa / choppy idle / 10.5" vacuum) and it is very responsive and no tip-in stumble. That's running a straight linkage and a 25 pound flywheel on it. Great carbs. Edit; pn# SL-450-VSTRF...

Haha... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that nobody on this planet would select a cam based on LSA alone! My overlap numbers are from the .050 like the desk dyno does when you enter the specs. Using advertised duration numbers, the Howards cam is 71 degrees, "4" on DV's chart. Hughes...

100% on that. No cranky gramma cams! The 108 LSA it is so... for 6000 rpm, the Hughes and Howards are there. 23/24 overlap should sound nice. Thank for the input!
