wheels and tires
does any one have pics and brands of wheels and tires . looking to do a five mag with low profile tires. may be 17" wheel. this will be my only non stock items for my 63
This thread probably belongs in the "Modified" section. Lots of pics there showing different aftermarket wheels guys are running.

Ridler 695 - 17X7, 4" backspace with 215/55/R17.
Slight modification to the finder skirts - gap was +/- 1/8th inch and I wanted a little more room to allow for geometry changes as the car moves down the road.

Thanks - seems the level of "sweetness" is directly related to the amount of money I throw at it.Yeti Man wrote:Sweet ride Treozen!
Still have a ways to go before I match that car of yours though, stance is perfect IMHO.

I don't know for sure. The skirts that came w/ mine are in my store room somewhere. Not planning on running them.
I have 1-1/2" spacers (adapters) on it in the pic, and the rear rubber is 235/60/16. Honestly, I don't see a reason skirts wouldn't fit w/ these wheels. Next time I am over at my store room I'll grab the skirts & give it a try.
