I'm swapping to a different rim & tire combination here soon. Just want to make sure that I can get some good info from someone on the forum before I purchase anything. I'm looking at getting some 20X8.5" Ridler wheels with a 0 offset. I'd like run a 245-35-20 front & at least a 265/30/20 rear tire or possibly wider if I can? Anyone here know what will fit? I'd like to do wider tires if I can. I'm not against light trimming on the inner rear moldings if I need too. Thanks in advance for any input.
I had 275/60-15's on the back of my 66, it was a snug fit on both the inner and outer wheelwell. Zero offset will not work, it will move the tire out into the fender. Necessary offset is about 7/8" positive to center the tire in the wheelwell with the stock rear.
This is the car that got me going this direction. I'm doing an LS swap, redoing the suspension and going for more of a Touring look.
