Your 62 looks rad!
Looking for driver tires. I only have 420hp out of my 383 and I am putting in a 2.76 rear gear for freeway travel. I want the Mickey tires but it's a costly pill to swallow.
I was looking at Cooper Cobra website and I found this for the rear:
255/70x15
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T...
Awesome! I'm glad I provided good measurements and information. I still like the Mickey Thompson tire but I'll explore the 265/70X15 as mentioned in post #24.
I'll stay away from t/a radials, not a problem. Is there a brand that is recommended?
I took a few more photos with the solid steel wheels mounted.
From the outer most edge of the wheel to the lip of the quarter panel (driver/passenger): 3"/3"
From the inner most edge of the wheel to the leaf spring (driver/passenger): 2.5"/2.5"
Passenger side second
I did my measurements from the face of the axle where the wheel would mount
If I did it correctly let me know
Horizontal wheel well opening: 31"
Face to drum to inner lip of fender (driver/passenger): 7"/7"
Face of drum to leaf spring: 6.5"/6.5'
Opening from outer quarter...
Ok I'll look into 215/70R14
And I don't really love the radial T/A that I absolutely must have them but I believe they are a good tire. I'm looking to use this car as a daily driver.
If there is a good tire at a better price point, I'm happy to learn
I did upgrade the front brakes to 73/74 A body disc brakes. The 14 inch wheels clear it, but just barely maybe a centimeter or two. I do have one 15x7 American Racing torq thrust wheel but only one.
Hello FBBO!
I'm at an important part of the build process. The wheels and tires.
I wanted to go for the 64 Ramcharger style with 5 spoke wheels in the front and solid steelies in the back.
I have a 14x6 5 spoke for the front and 15x7 solid steelies for the rear.
For the tires, I'm looking for...
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids cheering and exclaiming
And everyone telling you that a Hemi is near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With dyno pulls and Mopar meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of...
Late to the party.
For the rear the rim size, the common theme was 15x8 with 4.5"back spacing.
What rim size is recommended for the front? 15x7? And with what backspacing?
I have a 64 2 hardtop Sport Fury
Thank you

My first car was a 66 Ford Mustang. I bought it myself and drove it throughout high school. Since I was a young kid with an older car a lot of people would talk me. I went to local shows (Donut Derelicts in Huntington Beach) and learned a lot from new people and seeing all the cars...
