Hi Just bought a set of 78 firebird 8 inch rally wheels. I want to use them on my 67 vert. Anybody used these before? I would also like a recommendation on a good tire size. Not oversized but a nice look. Possibly I will go with redlines. Thanks

Measure the rim width from inside the sealing lip across to the inside of the other side. I don't think they made a stock rim 8" wide. 8"ers only aftermarket.
Well I've got 235/60/14s on 7" rims because it was the widest tire I could get. I've had 245/50/14s squeezed on them before but they were really too wide. You may have more luck finding wider for 15s but these days I doubt it. 14s and 15s seem to be out dated items these days and are getting harder to come by all the time.
Had 275-60's on the rear without a prob. 245's the largest i've had on front(long time ago). Think they rubbed on hard turns. Have a set of Nitto's on 15x7's for rear too. Have to check size.
