Hello there NICK, maybe because I'm old (or at least older) and was never into the star wars thing help me understand your post on the Eleanor poll thread and ask what is a Thread vader (and be known as). Zombie Thread? Being started about 2 months ago was it that old to fall in that category. Can say I hope it does die off though..LOL. Wish i never would of started the poll and can tell your not thinking much of it either. Don't want to cause conflict on here between member's and seems this poll has done that more than most. If you want to close it that's fine and wish you would. I know, i should of put a ending date on it myself........JIM
So Nick, did Mini-feed get rained out?--I wondered what you guys would do in the rain--It should would make it easier to break traction on your driveway and get'em spinning--LOL
I need your advice again. If I have a set of 17x8 with 4.5 backspacing, what size tires should I use without having rubbing the wheel wells, or having fender rolled? I'm thinking about having 225/45/17 for the front tires, and 245/45/17 for the rear tires, but I'm not so sure about it. BTW, my car has Shelby drop, Maier Racing 600 Front Coil Springs, and Maier Racing 165 Race Special Leaf Springs, 1.25" Drop on the rear.
Thanks Dodgestang, you advice is greatly appreciated.
Hi Dodgestang,
I took your advice that I found on the forum, and I called to order set of new TT II wheels which are 17" x 8" with 4.75" backspacing for my 66 fast back. A sale person asked me bout the offset and center bore diameter, and I have no clue about them. Please help me. Any advice and suggestion from you is greatly appreciated. BTW, I hope the wheels will fit my car, and I don't have to have the fender rolled.
It is a 'hot street performance' setting. You will wear the inside edge a little faster than the outside edge for the tire. With that said I've put 10k on tires like that and never noticed uneven wear.
