Help selecting tire and wheel size. Std 67
I want to order my wheels and tires…finally. I would like a tire size around 245/45. I also want to go with 17" wheels. I was thinking 17x8 all around with 245/45.
Is 245 too narrow for the back?
Is 245 wide for front?
Is an 8" wheel the right width for a 245?
I want a “wide” look, especially in back, with no rubbing worries.
Going with a torque thrust style wheel. 1967 standard Cougar. Standard suspension with 68 power disc brakes. Standard body, etc.
Thanks, great thread…until someone derailed it half way through LOL
I have been researching for a few months…so many possibilities.
The wheels I am interested in come (as a standard) in 17x8 with 4.5" back spacing or 17x9 with 5". Anyone run these sizes? Looks like a few run the 17x8 with 245 no problem. All four corners or How about 17x8 front And the 17x9 on the rear? 245/45 front 255/45 rear?
