Im lookin for opinions on what wheel & tier to go wiyh on my 67... Going to run 18x8 in front & 18x12 in rear with mini tub & 4link set up. Would love to get opinions & some pics of your rides... Stuck between Showwheels KWC027 0r the 001 without perimeter rivets... but really looking for a nice wheel without breaking the bank. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated... Oh & pics... Thanks in advance...

Tons of pictures here on PT and Lateral-G.net. Spend some time looking through the Project Update section. IMO, 18x8 front and 18x12 rear is too much difference in wheel width front to back. More common is 18x10 and 18x12. The current trend with top tier PT cars is a squared setup meaning running the same size wheels and tires front and rear usually 18x11.

Steve, how do you do that? If you want to run something like a 335 in the back? Davis, if your set-up DSE? They have reccomended tire sizes in the instructions

Most commonly we do 18x9 and 18x12.
If you went with an 8 front I'd stick with a 295 or 315 rear.
If you're not autocrossing or trying to be competitive then it really doesn't matter what you do. Just be sure your front tire doesn't have a taller diameter than your rear tire.

No just stock subframe up front w the ridetech arms & coil over in near future... Goes to shop this week to get it mini tub & 4 Link rear...haven't found rims & tires that I'm going with...any suggestions on front back spacing? Will5/5.5 get them tucked under front fenders or will it rub frame when u turn? Thanks in advance...
