Post pics of your ride....need some wheels ideas
I am in the market for a new set of wheels for my 1965. I was hoping that some fellow members here could post a side view pic of their ride to get a look at some wheels. Include the following info you can... tire size, wheel size, any suspension modification (lowering etc...), any mods necessary to get the wheels to fit. Thanks!

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.

Mat is right, there are a ton of threads on this topic already. I think 16's will look the best on your car. Try to get something which will match your car too. For example, the Hopsters look good since they have sharp edges..just like the boxy design of the 1st gen. The next couple of gens are bigger and a little more curvy and thus look better with 17" Torq Thrusts. Not my car though.
Once you find some ideas try going to the Chop Shop and getting them put onto your car in Photoshop.

RE: Post pics of your ride....need some wheels ideas
these are my old 14x7 magnum500's.
these are 05 bullits which are currently on my car, but im looking to sell em and buy TT2's.
my car has 620 coils that have about 1/2 coil cut off. which lowered the front about 1 inch. i have air shock in the rear so i can lower it however much i want.
