    Finally Got Some New Shoes on my GTX

    Well I finally got around to putting my new Magnum wheels and Diamondback redline tires on my GTX. Decided on 15x7 wheels on all four corners. Went with 225/70R15 tires on the front and 255/60R15 on the rear. The tire sizes pretty well level out the ride of the car. Like the beefier look under...

    Yet Another Tire Fitment Thread!

    I'm pulling the trigger on buying new Diamondback tires for my Magnum wheels this week. Before I make the final selection, I have a tire fitment question for the experts and opinionated here. Will 235/70R15s fit under the front end of a stock 69 GTX without rubbing or clearance issues?

    Diamondback Tires III's vs. SS

    Getting ready to purchase some Diamondback tires to install on my new Magnum 500s. Wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether or not the DBIII's are better than the SS's? I have a set of the SS tires on my steel wheels now and have no real complaints. Just looking for some feedback on these...

    Installing Hub Caps

    I have decided to install the factory correct hub caps on my GTX. I’m wondering if there is a trick to installing them without beating the crap out of the painted wheel? I tried “popping” them on by hand and smacked on them a couple times with a mallet and decided to step back and ask for advice...

    Removing Pitting/Blemish from Hubcaps

    I am considering installing these factory hubcaps on my steel wheels for my GTX. I have a complete set of four. Two of the caps are in excellent condition. But two of the caps (pic 2 and 3) have pitting or blemishes (or whatever that is) on them. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to...

    Wheel Purchase - Opinions Needed

    I am getting ready to purchase a set of Magnum wheels to have as an alternative to my steel wheels on my 69 GTX. I have read a lot of the threads here about wheel/tire combos already. I am leaning towards purchasing 15x7 wheels for all four corners. A second option would be 15x7 fronts and 15x8...

    Got Some New Shoes Installed

    On the recommendation of FBBO, I ordered a set of Diamondback SS Redline Radials for the GTX. Got them installed on the car this weekend. Not disappointed in that purchase for the purposes of looks. Now just need to get this thing tuned up to get on the road.

    Largest Tire Size on Stock GTX

    I'm sure this question, or one like it, has been asked many times. I'm getting ready to install the Diamondback Redlines on my GTX on the factory 15" steel wheels. However, I am also considering buying some different wheels to have as an alternative for the car (like Magnums or Torq Thrusts)...

    Tire Size Question

    I am ordering a set of redline radials to put on my GTX. Pretty sure the current Poly Glass tires on the car are not in good shape given the amount of vibrations while driving. The car has F70-15 tires on it which I believe equals about a 215/70R15 size. Is it possible to go up to a slightly...

    Recommendations for Red Line Radials

    I am finally about to take delivery of a 69 GTX. The car was put back together with the Good Year Ployglas Red Line Tires. I am considering swapping to Red Line radials. The look of the red lines fits perfectly with the car, but I would prefer something that handles a little better than the...

    Wheel Questions - 69 Road Runner

    Easy question - did the 69 Road Runner come with BBP wheels or SBP wheels? Side question, do they also have the lugs that loosen the opposite direction on them like my A-body did?
