I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you guys can help me with. I want to go with Rocket Racing Booster wheels on my 67 Firebird in these sizes:
Front: 18x8 - 4.75 backspacing
Rear: 18x9 - 5.25 backspacing
My questions are:
1: Will these sizes/backspace work?
2: Can I go with a 275/40/18 (or maybe 285) on the rear? I'm running a stock tub and have a rolled lip on the inside of the quarter.
3: What size front tire should I be going with?
4: Does anyone have any pics of these in similar sizing on a first gen f-body?
Some other info about my setup:
Will be using C5 brakes
Ridetech rear setup, coil-overs
Front is using stock spindles, Hotchkis lowering springs
I'll be using a Ford 9" rear, that I will have to narrow.
I was originally hoping to go with the Year One Pontiac Rally II in 17", but it looks like those will not fit with C5 brakes.
Thanks
