Any pics of b body with 18” or bigger wheels ?

[64 Sportfury]

Looking really nice! What size and brand rims?

Thanks PasiR. They are US Mags U111, 18x9.5" rear and 18x8" front. Tires are Hankook 295/45 18 rear and 255/45 18 front.

looks killer. What tires?

With runs and tires set out that wide, I’d expect rear tire rub on the outer wheel tub.
I had that problem but modified the tubs in both of my cars for more clearance.

Nitto Nt05 all the way around. If I recall, should be 295/40/18 on the rear and I believe 275/40/18 on the front.

no rubbing on the rear at all and no modifications to the body. The front rubs the fender slightly only when backing up and turning right.

I'm liking all those but I think 8's are an inch too wide on the front. 7's would still look good with zero issues.

Runner 68 ... what make are those wheels?​

 

[gkent]

I'm liking this size tire ... a little taller to fit the opening and a little wider as well

You will rub if your suspension moves enough. All B body cars used a weird outer wheel tub that has a bulge that intrudes into the wheelhouse. It is behind centerline.
I had a 28” 295-45-18 and it rubbed. I reshaped the tubs and after that, I only got light contact with passengers and a full tank. Now I switched to a 295-35-18 so I should have another inch of clearance.

Look up this thread:


Increasing rear tire clearance in a '70 Charger.

Lots of good info there.

Just getting back on the floor, I’m pretty happy with it. Lots of work to do but feels good to finally see some progress.

US Mags Ramblers 18x8 fronts. 18x9 1/2 rear, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 235/45 and 285/40.

American Racing 18s with 295s (not sure why I want thinking Rocket). Very spendy...

Here's my 68, 17 in front 18 in rear

18’s rear (295/45)
17’s front and I forget the size tires.
Wheels are Coy’s c57.

I hate being “one of those people” but you have to be pretty silly to post up in a thread in the restomod section of the forum and complain about larger than stock wheels. It’s the pro touring restomod sub forum.

 

[Kern Dog]

Yeah… that is like seeing traffic up ahead with detours on each side of the road, then driving straight while complaining about the traffic.
