hey ive been looking at this forum for quite some time so i finally decided to join. i own a 70' coupe that i have put a ton of time into over the past 5 months. which leads me to a question. i purchased torque thrust II's 15x7's front and 15x8's rear. i have 215/60's for the front and am debating on 255/60's or 255/70's for the rear. i want something that fills the fenderwell up. i have lowered the front 1inch. if someone could show some pictures or help me out it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Welcome to the forum!!

Sorry, I am ignorant with regard to specifics involving tire and wheel fitments on these cars...

Someone will know though.....

We have 50s on the rear and 60s on the front on 17" wheels. The fit on my son's 66 is probably not what you are looking for on your coupe.

The front of the 66 has been lowered an inch, while the back has been raised. The result is a rake that is not what the "popular look" is like these days, nonetheless, we like it..

 

Welcome Aboard!!I have 60's on the rear! Could get you a pic but it will be a little while.There will be lots of different opinions on this.

 

thanks yall. i have the stockers on it right now and they are 215/70/14's... i want taller

this is the car when i first bought it. it has all original saggy suspension. the rear sits higher now. (front is still under construction)

 

Welcome Devin! Glad to see you join us!

First place to check Nick's list at www.dodgestang.com and see what wheel/tire combinations he's got listed for your car. He's kept up the definitive list for that topic.

If that doesn't get you there... I suggest renting/borrowing/buy a wheelrite and using to measure your rear quarter space. This tool allows you to simulate the diameter, backspacing, and tire profile.

 

thanks. Your car looks amazing. very nice work.
