Anybody know what range of tires and rims I can fit on my car? Will be 5 x 4.5 BP, Front 11" Disks, Rear 10" Drums on a 8 3/4, offset shackles and hangers. Thanks

15 x 7 rims with 4 to 4 1/4 backspacing is about right.
Tire size is more of a personal preference... do you like a tall or a short side-wall?

Don't forget you may need to change your speedometer pinion gear if you change the tire size. You can find charts on the web to get the correct tooth count.

I was going to get the offset shackles and hangers, but, someone told me that you have to move the perches? I thought they offset the stuff and did it the way they did so that you didn't have to weld? Heck, if I have to reweld the perches, why not go with the 3" relocation kit.

I like the look of my car as is right now really, I guess I have tall sidewall tires? I don't want to be running down the street on thin piece of rubber like an import of course :shock: Thanks Doc

Ya, I actually forgot about that, will have to get the right gear for the size of tire and 3.55 ratio...I know a good article on that. Thanks Eric
