8" should be what your using there. I would get 3" they look really nice.

You probably have 8in . 7's are somewhat rare , atleast when you want a set .:lol: I run 7's on the front on my 68 . 3in trim rings look the best imo.

Just couldn't find a set of 3" rings that weren't all dinged-up locally. Went with 2" rings, because they're a whole lot more plentiful, at least around here.

Would have liked the wider rings, but the look of the narrower ones sort of grows on you.

Click my avatar photo for a closeup view of 2" rings on 8" wheels.

Good luck. Dave
