I am thinking about purchasing these for my 55. I would like to get feedback on the sizes. The front I am running upper tumbler control arms and disc brakes. The rear inners have been cleaned up. I think I would be able to use the below wheels???
Thanks for any help
Wheel, Rambler U110, 17 in. x 8 in., Aluminum, Chrome, 5 x 4.75 in. Bolt Circle, 4.50 in. Backspace, Each
USM-U11017
I would not go that large, Redman, due to the mounting/dismounting issues, even if they 'might fit'... Check under Calculators on this site and input your wheel data and car data into the calculators and they will give you a great idea if they will work...
The size tire you use will be the most important consideration. I test fitted a wheel/tire I rounded up that was close what I wanted, before I bought wheels for my C4 55. Ended up with 275/40-17 tires on 17 x 9.5 wheels front and rear with a 38+ offset. They fit perfect and have amazing traction with 200 treadwear tires. IMG_8703.JPG
I looked again and 17x8 is the widest in 17". That is why I went to a 18", there is a 18x9.5. I would be happy with a 9" but 9.5" is what is next. I want a little stagger between the front and rear. I am trying to bring the looks towards modern style then the 15" rally's.
