Right save size wheels

[zippy67roadster]

I have my Rota RB's 15x6 with a +20 offset at a machine shop right now. I am having the 3mm taken off of the wheel so they will fit the front. I am running late fenders on my 67 so that the wheels and tires will fit well. I will post some pictures when I get the 205 50/15 race tires mounted next week.

Not much you can do with off the shelf wheels and trying to squeeze lots of rubber under stock '66 front flare.
Just run a square setup. 195/50/15 all around.
It will appear to "stick out" past front fender flare:


195/205 isn't a bad stagger, but if you have lots of hp and burn through rear tires it makes a square setup attractive since you can rotate.

With street tires on the track you'll be fine. Once you get serious, run a square setup.

EDIT, keep in mind that a very sticky 195/50/15 will give you much more traction to reign in all or horsepower compared to a cheap 205/50/15. What model tire are you using?

Thanks, that what I do, 195/50/15 all around and I already took the edge from the hub, so the wheels fit now without a spacer.

Another option (and granted, this is not for everyone, but if you want to make it fit, and that's all that matters..) Is to build a slightly wider rear axle and a spacer set for the fronts, and then buy FWD offset wheels..

You can bring the wheels right to the fender in the front, and the rear axle makes them fit under the fenders.. But a lot of work..
