17x8 Rims in rear
17x7 Rims in front
Shelby leafs in back
620 springs in front with one complete coil cut off
Cant reember tire sizes right now.
I can barely put a q-tip between my front tires and my fender lip.
They are even closer now that I have the car aligned. It does not rub as far as dips/bumps but off camber drieway entries it rubs a bit. But it is worth it!!!!

Info
The Wheels are available from Bruce at 951-686-3929 (riverside ca) He has all the specs on my car, (back spacing etc) the Springs in the back are made to lower the car 2 inches. The front 620 springs have a full coil cut out, the tires are 245/45/17 in rear 215/45/17 in the front.
The center caps are from Scott Drake I think? I dont love them.....they look good for now. I am going to have some flat caps cut from a flow-jet. You cant run dust caps with the thin caps but I dont care.
Tell Bruce Oakley sent you, he has alot of good info, parts and knowledge. He is a good guy.
Sorry it took so long to respond we were at Rage at the River Off road race! 4th place woo-hoo!!

My 65 FSTBK has 15x7 seven wheels 205-70 15's on the front , 225-60- 15's on the , I want to raise the ear end up two at least 2 inches. I like the look of the car being higher in the front, but the rear needs to come up at least two inches ,hows the best way to do that.
