Restomod tire sizes?

[mmissile]

Looking at what will fit under a 70 `cuda-vert, with 2" dropped front spindles and 1" drop leaf springs. Looking to go as large[safely] with a 18" front rim, and 18 or possible 20" rims on the back. Starting from scratch, so any offsets/back-spaces and tire sizes being used by folks would be helpful. Pics of combos on e-bodies would also be helpful.


Thanks, Mike.

Mike,
I didn't get too Wild with the stager but this in Conp to what you're looking for. The Car is 2" drop front and 1.5" Drop rear
Fronts= 17 x 8 with +24 mm Offset....Wrapped With 245/45-17's
Rear = 18 x 10 with +6 mm Offset......Wrapped with 295/45-18's
Rear = Optimal Offset would be + 15mm to +20mm and use 3/4" to 1" Leaf Spring relocation Kit

I wanted to keep the Old school flavor with the Sidewall Height...So the 45 Series worked for me. Along with that....I wanted to get as close to 29" Diam.
as I could for freeway cruising with 3.91-4.10 rear gears. The 5 speed I just installed helps as well. I have a shorter set of rears for track days!

Thanks. I'm old-school, so how does that measure in backspace and inches? That's a great lookin' Challenger that you have.
