first of all im sorry for asking another tire question,my question is would this fit a 1965 coupe:
Wheel Style: FR500 Wheel Size: 18x9"
Wheel Backspacing: 5.85" Wheel Offset: +24mm
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.5 inch
thanks all help appreciated, i dont want to drive 1hr 20 mins then try them on and then to find out they dont fit

not without some bodywork

 

I don't think that would fit very well. 5.85" bs might be enough to run it into your inner fender. I'm not sure what the most you can do is, but I think 5.85" is likely to be beyond the max. You can always pop a wheel off and measure how much roomthere isthough, provided someone doesn't post up what the max bs can be.

Beyond that (let's pretend the 5.85" will fit), the idea backspacing for a 9" rim would be 5.25". That way the rim would center up in the wheel well.So with 5.85 you'd be sitting more than 1/2" too close to the center of the car. That means the tire you're able to fit on there will be smaller than what someone would usually put on a 9" wide rim.

If you really want to use those rims, you should find out if you can get away with 5.25" back spacing (someone here is bound to know the answer to that), and then get .30" spacers to let the rims sit in a more ideal location.

btw: the 5 x 4.5 patter is correct.

 

heres a little chart http://www.dodgestang.com/Tire%20Fit...ide%2065-6.pdf

 

By the time you got the backspacing right to pull it up under the wheelwell, the back of the tire will be hitting the inner fender housing. So no...it won't work. Adding this photo as a point of reference...

 

thanks everyone for your response, i guess ill forget about themill just keep looking hopefully ill find some before my b-daycuz they are suppose to be my present
