I've been a member for awhile but this is my first post.

I know this topic has been beat to death but I'm still in a fog and need help and advice on 19" wheels!!

A little car history, new floors trunk and passenger compartment, new rear quarters and tail panel, new trunk lid and hood, 1 new door and one skinned, one new front fender, new speed tech AFX tall spindles, Global west control arms, Currie rear end housing with a ford 3rd member Detroit Truetrac, DSE mini tubs trunk floor and rear frame rails are mini tub designed so no cutting and splicing up for the most part! The Currie was a stock width 60 14" (not enough research before ordering) so I know it will have to be narrowed I'm thinking 56"? I am looking at Vossen wheels and the smallest diameter they make is 19". I was hoping to run 19x11 or 19x12 rear and 19x8 front but have no idea what front back spacing would work without rubbing and was thinking 5.5 or 6 for rear back spacing with the 56" rear end.

Does anyone run 19" and can you share pic's and info?

Thanks, Rick!!
