Looking at these guys on Ebay right now - http://www.ebay.com/itm/112217427265?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT


Looks like they should fit with 10mm spacers according to some quick research here. Any opinions? I have a 66 with stock ride height that needs tires real bad anyway. Do y'all think I can get away with those 225/50's? Kind of want to drop the front end a bit eventually but I'll stay stock for a while.

no. too big.
great thread here with pictures of what fits:

Usually the overall width is 1" wider than the inter width....making these 6.5" rims.

WHO are YOU and what have you done with Alvin?

16X7 +19 is a squeeze with a 205/40...front tire will show beyond the flare 1/2".
10mm spacer would NOT work. Unless you like Binky without the flares.

Oh I did not click on the ebay link. I just saw the question about 225/50/16 tires.

16x7 wheels can "fit"

The 225/50/16 tire won't fit on a stock suspension/flare roadster:



search for "shant67" he was running 15x7 0 offset Enkei then 16x7

That looks gorgeous. Searching for Shant67 is only finding me 10 links and none of them seem to go to these pics. Sorry, I'm new here. I'm probably just not doing it right. I'm typing shant67 in the search bar, capitalization doesn't seem to matter. Any other tricks?

Type the name in the "Author" box of the Search link
