Not 15" but 17" 'for sure'?

Thanks, Steve.

Yesterday someone suggested wheels no wider than 7” (front and rear). One person suggested no smaller than 16" whereas another suggested 17" for sure. It was recommended that I look for wheels through my local PCA chapter and that the availabilty through the classifieds there might determine what I go with.

The offset was specified as 43 and 55mm. (I don't yet understand offset.) I am given to understand that if I go with P brakes and P wheels that this shouldn't be an issue.

The tires suggested were 17 205 40 (front) and 17 225 45 (rear).

It was also suggested that the car be lowered 2.5 inch setting on the front with the rear being left stock.

Great photo - nice looking ride.

I am just now trying to get some photos up of my project. I hope to figure this out ...

Cheers
