Large wheels on muscle cars POST EM!!

[evostilo]

This is a thread showing mostly Mucsle Cars that are "Pro Touring" Inspiered and have large wheels but the cars still have a low stance. Wheels are large but not too large that it would affect the drivability of a lowered suspension. I know most PT cars have 17-20" wheels but i realy like the look of more larger agressive wheels.

imo anything over an 18 is a waste ok maybe a 19 in back but thats it will have pictures of my 18s next week from jon at driverzinc

I have 19's/20's on my car and many here consider them too big. and my car is very low(for a driver) with only a couple of inches under the headers.

with that being said, many of those cars that you posted(especially the first one) look like they should be crushing cars at a monster truck show.

HOT WHEELS

To each their own, but that is the first thing that generally comes to mind.

The one's above I can handle. The red and black are really not bad, and the last one appears "almost normal" .
I feel to each their own. I personally don't care for the look.
Being an old time 4x4 guy, the first thing I think of when I see them around here, and there are a LOT of these around here, is "I wonder how deep a water crossing they can make?"
Seriously, it makes me start thinking 4x4 and water and obstacle crossings.

A little too much 19s are pushing it

Why not just ditch the tires and just put a teflon coating on the rims?

What makes the above "pro-touring inspired"? Because they are from the 50's & 60's, that is the only thing I see that they have in common with PT. Those would handle and ride like crap. I love a rod/pt car on a custom chassis slammed over big rollers, but if you can't get the ride hieght down to 5-6" from the ground then the wheels are too big. When they roll over a bump you would hear "donk, donk, donk"

Maybe Slow touring.

I think I would like all of those cars better with smaller wheels, but I know there are a ton of people who would like any of my cars better with the stock 15" wheels on them.

The upside of Freedom is that you can do things the way you like them, the downside is that other people can do things the way THEY like them.
Pretty nice cars overall.

[Greasy63]

[LowFast]

Maybe Slow touring.

i would say mine is "inspired" by pro-touring, but not necessarily built to win any events. heres my 69 chevelle with a 20/22 combo. And the bottom line is, if you like big wheels, PUT THEM ON YOUR CAR, it doesnt matter what anyone else says, its ultimately you and your money, so ignore the nay-sayers and do what you like best. it always amazes me that people are quick to bash on big wheels, but the guys who like big wheels(like myself and the OP) dont go to the threads where guys have put new 17s on their car and bash that they are too small, just some food for thought
