I like the "MAG" wheel look like BAY68_347's and the Bullitt's. They look great on a 60's car.
I have American Racing Torque Thrust II 16x7's with 4" BS and 205/45/16's on the front and 17x8 with 4.75" BS and 245/40/17's on the rear. I have Granada spindles and a 1" Shelby drop. Also the stock springs have been cut and the 429 might lower it abit more. No rubbing...

I am still working on the car but the wheels are Boyd Coddington Magneatos. 17 x 7 front with 225/45 and 18 x 8 rear with 255/40. I have 5 leaf mid eye in the rear with Ron Morris Coilover up front. I did't have to roll the fenders or do an y body mods for it to work.
That looks great! what backspacing are you running?

4" up front and 4.5 in the rear. I think I could have went with 18 x 9 with 5.5 bs though (and should have). I could have run 285 35's then. Live and learn.

I'm partial to 14's. I like the more tire look.

How much for the Bullit's? Any meat left on them?
theres like 95%+ meat left. drove on em for only a few weeks then i pulled my motor. still have colors marks on em from the factory. eh, i wanna say $600 + shipping. havnt really thought about it yet cause i havnt found any wheels for sale i wanna buy. i just got outbid on a set of 16x7 TT2's. but i want some 15x7/15x8 magnum500s again. my old ones were 14x7 which was too much tire. pm me if ur serious.
