I went with Wheel Vintiques Series 52 (SSI) Wheels from Summit, Tires from Discount tires. Discount tire were excellent to work with. They had ordered a 15 x 10 wheel and mount a tire for testing purposes. Kudo's for them!
Fronts are 15 x 8 (4.5" BS) with 245/60's
Rears are 15 x 10 (5" BS) with 275/60's.

My axle is shifted to the passenger side a little. (close to .5 in).
the Driver's side has plenty of clearance. The passenger side just OK. I trimmed the inner wheel well trim to compensate.
I found out the hard way that my rear disc calipers were hitting the rim. I am using 1/4" spacers for now. I will grind down the calipers one of these days and remove the spacers.

 

Lookin good...

 

Looking sweet!

 

Gorgeous car, wheels look great.

 

Those are nice!

 

Thanks!
These must have added 30 LBs per wheel over the aluminum Centerlines and smaller tires.

 

My SS1s are due in any day now, yours are looking great. Nice colour, is that code 29, Monarch blue, optional on A bodies? Nice to see the centre hood stripe.

 

Hey Rocketbrian,,,
Code 28, Twilight Blue Met.
White is 2001 Ford F150

 

Ah you went with the 70 colour, probably the nicest blue of the era. Thanks for the info.

 

Nice set up. Is the back raised a bit or is it just the height of the tire?

 

it's raised some. I have airshocks. Once I finish grinding down the calipers and remove the wheel spacers, I'll drop a little. These tires are tall though! I thought about coil overs, but was not going to until I figured out what wheels and tires I wanted and how they fit. I'd hated to pay several hundred and then realized they would adjust high enough. Airshocks were $70.
Plus, I'm still old school and love the hot rodish look.

 

Those look awesome. Getting SSI for my 442 is on my wish list.
