Default New wheels

Couldn't take the stock wheel combo any longer, these are 15x7 TT II's with 215 70's. I like some of the new big wheel (17's and up) combos, but just couldn't see em on this car. Plus these are cheap, $175 w nuts and free delivery (wheels only) from Wheels for Less in Texas.

I like the look, what is the back spacing on the wheels? Do you think the rear would work with the fender skirts? I have been considering them for my 68 GP. Pat

Thumbs up Great choice........

Among all of the classic 5 spoke mags, the TTs are my favorite. Now if I could only let go of my 8 lugs .

Hey Les,
I will buy the TTs for you if you trade me those eight lugs, LOL. Them are the most beautiful wheels for the full size cars. Pat

Pat, they are 3.75 BS. I think they would work with skirts, but I'll look close tomorrow, I assume the skirts follow the sculpted line ?

yes they follow the sculpted line across and about an 1 inch in with the latch, if my mind serves me correct. I was thinking of 17s, but not much in a taller tire. I want to fill out the wheel wells like the original tires did. Thanks Pat
