No way you could drive it with such deep offset rims on the front with such low suspension!matches wrote:

I like the double decker van in the background

matches that does look good with the glitter roof, i'll keep it in mind. as for the blower...drool...
i still like the idea of a bit of a rake though.
im trying to figure out what wheel/tire combo will fit considering i'll probably run a HR disc front and standard rear (or maybe with a torana diff)
thinking 13's front, 14's rear as wide as possible with stock wheel arches and around ?/70 profile rubber

Skinney crossplys on the front
Mickey Thompson Indy Profiles on the back

those mickey thompsons look great but surely they'd be a bit pricey? was thinking of just something thats 205/60R13 on the front and 235/60R14 on the rear.
also, skinny crossplys on the front...interesting. for that nostalgic look i suppose?

Rocket Industries have the M/T tyres, admittedly, they are not the cheapestEKjimmy wrote:those mickey thompsons look great but surely they'd be a bit pricey? was thinking of just something thats 205/60R13 on the front and 235/60R14 on the rear.

Crossplys on the front are definatly not there for their handeling
you need to drive accordingly
I used these tyres just for the look they have.

they do give the car a sorta cheesecutter look. but with crossply's i'd be too worried about understeer lol. but skinny tires on the front would probably look pretty darn good.
i keep changing my mind. black, black with white roof, all white, red and white, big tires, rake, no rake.
should just re%$##& it that way the tags tell me what to do

Hey Jimmy, I have had quite a few wheel/tyre combo's over the years, What I found was, Chop and change on a regular basis for different looks. I've had stock & widened steelies, Tasmans, 13", 14", Dragways, Jelly beans, 12 slotters. After a while you will find the combo that suits you. Make sure you have a set of standard rims with radials for everyday driving and what ever takes your fancy as show or shine wheels.
Cheapest and best is what I have ended up with.
HT Stock Steelies-$100
185/70/14 radials-$210
Johns Rod n Custom Flappers-$130
1952 Caddy caps-$ ?
Beautiful looking wheels and cap combo that i had sitting there all the time while I was buying new tyres every month for that look!!!!

Jimmy you will be hard pressed to get a 13 to fit for a HR disc front end. You will need a 14 most likely.
Plenty of wheel combos out there.
FE thru HT Holden are the same stud pattern. Just different offsets.
My opinion (sorry im baised) change your stud patterns to &*#@ or HQ/chev. Get multi fit wheels, easy to make your car appear sit "low" if your running 15+ inch rims. Profile plays a big role also.
