18” rims on a 67 wagon

[mag162]

What is the widest 18” rim I can fit on my 67 Fury wagon

 

[67Monaco]

prolly a 9. Maybe a 10 depending on back spacing.

18 x 10. Yep.

18 x 10. Yep.

Any idea on back spacing?

What do you think, @67Monaco, 6"?

 

[67Monaco]

I dunno, i was thinking 4.5, 5 max. I'd have to go back through my notes. I know a 20x9 will fit, on mine, with a 4.5.

Well, with a simple tubbing. And maybe some radiussing of the wheel well opening, we can get some 20 x 10's in there.

Plasma..

Plasma..

For cutting, or for donating to raise the funds for this silliness?

I have 20x10 on the back of my 67 wagon with 5.50 backspacing. Its perfect. if you go with a 9" rim go with a 5" backspacing

No need for cutting to fit 20x10, or plasma...unless you cut yourself bad and need blood!

Thanks. I'll remember that.

Thanks. I'll remember that.

For now I'm running 275/40/20 on the rear. Thinking of going 275/35/20 next time, just to bring the rear down a little more

You'll be the first to see them.
