Front tire size?
67 Fastback - came with 17x7 Torque Thrust II's in front (back is 17x8 w/ 255/45) that I like, but the darn things have only 4" backspacing. The current front tires on it are thrashed, since they are 235/45's, and are WAY too big for the front wheel-well (previous owner obviously was not a knowledgable member of this Forum!).
None of the wheel charts I've seen show a recommended tire size for a 17x7 inch wheel with only 4" backspacing (closest chart shows 4.25" backspace - which recommends 205/50 for front). Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Due to the overwhelming response (lol), I'm gonna try the 205/50 on the front 17x7's. I'll let you know how it works out - that is, once I get the new Grab-a-Trak suspension installed. [sm=icon_rock.gif]
If I were you, I would contact Tiretrack.com and ask them what size tire you need. Although they don't mention the backspacing in their tire ads, they do recommend a 215/50/R17 for a 67 Mustang if you want 17" wheels and tires. Most likely that is for American Racing wheels though. Just give them a call.
On Edit: Did you notice the one listed as AR Hopster wheels 17X7 using 225-45 tires with the wheel BS at 4" ?
