Those oughta look great, but I have to tell you, I like the Magnum 500's too
i love the mag 5's...but i have them on my 70 road runner and wanted to change up a bit.....and...these ones on the car now are not in that great of shape! i think the new rims will set it off pretty well! thanx!:hello2:

If you like them, go for it! But, since you asked, not my cup of tea, too 80ish looking for 66/67. JMO, enjoy and remember the wheelwell on the 66 is a whole lot tighter then the 68/69s. 245/60/15 required a slight trim on my 67. I'm running 15x7 with zero offset.
thanx for your opinion...i did ask and thanx for your honesty. they kinda do look modern...but this car is far from " correct" . these rims are 4" backset.,,,,or offset. the mag 5's on the back are "spread out " and i have about 1/2 " clearance on the quarter as it sits now.
i was thinking 255 60 15's all the way around...same as on my road runner. any ideas on that??? too much rubber maybe???? they look great on the runner....and the belvy does look smaller than the runner...but i measured both and they are relatively the same size car.

I think those wheels will look great with the color of your car. A silver or grey car needs chrome to set it off right! What brand are those and what was the price?
I have a 68 satellite and have been running staggered wheels -first 275/60/15 rear and 235/60/15 front. Those fronts handled well but looked too small to me. Now running 225/70/15 in front. Those don't handle as well and look too big even though they match the rears better. Now I am going to 215/70/15 fronts. If I had to do it all over again I would run 255/60/15 on all 4 corners. If you can fit those, run 'em.

I know 255's won't fit in the wheelwells of my 67 on the wheels I am running. I would ask others about the combo they are running. The 66/67 wheel house is definitly tighter and harder to get the wheels on and off the car w/ big tires.
heres the link for the wheels. i paid $479.00 for 4........ free shipping on :headbang: ebay.
