What kind of rims and size are those on the green 70 cornet? Sweet!

 

[65RoadRacer]

This is 18x8.5 front with 245/40-18 and 18x9.5 rear with 275/40-18. I can actually fit the rear wheel/tire combo on the front without a problem and am thinking about going to a 10 inch rear and a little wider when I do my mini tubs (eventually)

Here was my 64. Had 17x8's on it. Fit great.

I just bought the exact same wheels for my 70 Bee with the same size tires that you chose except I have Firestones. I hope mine looks as good as yours when Im done. Its killing me to look at my wheels & tires stacked up in the corner of my shop because I haven't put my underbody together yet. This pic inspires me to get off my as*&.

17x8" in front with 255/50 555 Nitto & 17x9" in the rear with 295/45 Mickey Thompson drag radials in the rear. These are the new Year One Rally Wheels.

I would like to see more pictures with 16-17 wheels as well. I love 15's but wide tire availabilty is limited to BFG or Cooper

You can still get back in the day Goodyear L60 or N50 raised white letter polyglas meat from Universal Tire orYear one if you want some width for a 15" wheel.

Dang! Nice to know there are so many options for 17s and 18s. I know it's not some people's cup of Tea but, it's the ONLY way to fit 13" and 14" brake rotors which are likely the ONLY way to slow a down a 5000 lb car @ 160+ mph. So glad i found this thread, REALLY nice cars guys!
