The last car is the only one pictured I still own. :? In all cases the sheet metal is stock. No fender rolling, stretching or trimming required. The 235/60R15s on the back of the '66 and the 255/40R17s on the Valiant will rub the inner wheel well when going in and out of a driveway when one rear wheel is pushed up and the other drops. Other than that everything clears fine.

Cop car wheels on my '71 Dart. Front tires are 205/60R15. Rear are 215/60.

My '67 Valiant with the 17" wheels. It has 8" wide wheels up front and 9" out back. Tires are 235/45R17 and 255/40R17.

I absolutely love those rims on your Valiant, I have similar style rims I'm going to use on my 66 Valiant. This is the car you installed disc brakes on correct?

Thanks! I think most every A-body I've owned was either built with disc brakes or I installed them. The exceptions being a few cars I didn't own very long or didn't intend to keep. The Valiant has 11.75" rotors and Wilwood calipers, but had standard 10.87" rotors and sliding calipers previously. The wheels pictured will probably go back on my RX-7 and be replaced by the wheels picture on my Dakota.

The Dakota rims have a more classic look to them which I agree will work better, but a few modern rims can be pulled of on a classic.

Lindross: Cool man love the look! Set up a similar car over here with Goodyear NCT5's looks great handles very well.
