Re: Widest Tires on a '71?

Sorry, I missed the question.

We took a stock 6 lug rim and it is being widened to 17 inches. It will have 9.25 inches of back spacing. I am currently looking for '68 hubcaps which is why I kept the stock rim, plus steel wheels look better.

I didn't want to narrow my rear end or frame rails either. The deep dish look is not something I need, just enough tire to fill up the fender wells.
