Tires and wheels are on the way!
Well, I decided it was time to give the car a little different look, I've always liked the weld drag lite wheels but the price was a little steep for me, jegs has a nice looking knock offs called the sportlite. My choice was 15x4 fronts with 1.75" b.s. and 15x10 rears with 5.5" b.s. and tire sizes are p165/80/15 and p265/50/15 hopefully it's all here next week

X2 , would like to see the after pics. I like the original rally rims as well. I likely wouldn't have bought Cragar SS rims if my 76 came with those rally rims. I just hated the hub caps .

Always liked Draglites! Have had them on several different vehicles over the last 25+ years. 265-50? Haven't seen that size in years, pretty short tire! 295-50 would look a lot better and fit these cars perfectly.

If I were to run a 295/50 what would you recommend for front tires? I picked the 265/50 because the tire on the car is a 235/60/14 measuring 25" tall and the 265/50/15 is very close to the same height. I am ordering tires tomorrow and the sizes aren't necessarily set in stone, so if there is a better option I'm all ears

Whoa, it sounds like something that got deleted (rightfully so) in the middle but you've made it through & are still standing coming out the other side. Onward & upward brother. Car looks good & best of luck moving forward.

I deleted mine now also, and thanks, I made it through, and it was a battle for sure, I normally don't get that vocal over small stuff, but something's just shouldn't be brought up, that's just respect
