Just a thought... (actually my personal opinion) 50 series tires do not have enough sidewall to look appropriate on a ‘60’s car. Back in the ‘70’s I had 50 series on my Cyclone and always hated the look but I wanted the width that the 50’s offered. I was using a stock width ‘57 Ford 9” which dictat...

that's super helpful. How is the fitment in the front? Looks like if I use some 205/50R16s 16x7+28 with a 25mm spacer it'll put me within 3mm of your setup.

Is the 8.8 narrower than what you had stock, or is it the same width as the stock rear? Did you narrow it or did you have a shop do it for you? I want to eventually, but right now, I don't have the time or budget to do so; I do have some 16x7s that I'm trying to figure out if I can make work with sp...

I have 2 sets of modern wheels with tires already mounted. I'd like to run them if I can. Set 1 (preferred) is 225/50R16 16x7 +38 (5.5 BS) (4.5 BS w/1" spacer) Will this fit? 225s seem to be on the wide side. Set 2 is 205/50R16 16x7 +28 (5.10 BS) (4.12B BS w/1" Spacer) My neighbor is running 195/65R...

Is there any way to do a 5 lug conversion on the rear while keeping the stock rear housing/axles etc? Car needs tires, and I eventually wanna go 8.8 or 8 inch rear, but don't have the time/budget right now.

cool Comet! I just got a 62 myself; what size wheels/tires/backspacing are you running?

This is great information! I just picked up a 62 comet with the 170/2AT I'd like to stay 4 lug - can i do this without going all custom? Also would love to go disc brakes but it seems like they only make 5 lug discs.
