Check the FAQ section for several wheel and tire fitment charts. Your decision will be based on what you want the car to do, and how it will look. The torque thrust II's are good looking wheels on a classic pony.

The common size for 17" seems to be 235/45/17 as a perfit fit and no rub issues. I have 245/45/17 and works fine on my 65.

Don't forget about backspacing! You'll want at 4.5" or 4.75" depending on how big you go with a tire, otherwise those popular 235/45/17's being recommended will RUB up front!

Had this issue with the TT2's that came with the '67 - the 17x7 fronts are only 4" backspacing and can't get anything better than 205/50/17 under those fenders.

And yes - those TT2's on classic rides do look awesome! [sm=drooldude.gif]
