    Another Bad Idea?

    . Help, backspacing question

    Narrower tires on a rim is not a big thing next to a wide tire on to narrow rim. Especially on front tires. Do not worry, they will be just fine. Spring spacers or "knuckles" to raise a front end are such a band aid. Do not got that direction. rob

    . Help, backspacing question

    Looking at the 215 vice the 225 50 R 16 shows that it reduces the section width from 9.20 to 8.50. Basically almost 3/4 inch. this would bring the tire in nearly 3/8 of an inch on inside and the outside. Looks like a good try to reduce your tire rub. I HATE tire rub! Rob...

    1968 Help with 15" tire size

    Arlie is right on as usual. My gut says you will be right on the edge with this tire combination. I hope your tire place will let you try them in the parking lot with 4 people in the car. Lock to lock in the front and even a short drive to go around a corner with some speed with the body...

    1968 Help with 15" tire size

    The biggest variant in tire size is what height your car sits at. A lowered car will rub easier than a stock height car. Take a tape measure and measure from the floor up to the wheel lip and provide the dimensions front and rear. The other factor is the backspacing of the wheel. I am not...

    . Triple "B's" Garage

    Marty, As a MCA judge, what is correct on a 390/428 engine in 1968 for paint on the lower heads bolts? Painted or not? Also the exposed edges of the block surface that the heads and head gaskets do not cover? Rob
