I'm putting my runner back together and have moved the springs in with the relocation kit, I am looking for help on tire size and offset on the rim inorder to get the largest tire IN the
wheel well as posible. I have also moved the front mounting hole up so it will lower the back off the car 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.Any and all info or pictures would be very much appreciated.
Of course the next big challange will be picking wheels....steelies,chrome,old school torque thrus who knows.Thanks all for any help

Take some measurements and put everything in here.

Thought I would bump this once I got one good source for info but anyone who has already done this I
could use a little advise. I am looking for 15,16
maybe 17 rear sizes you know tires that look like tires not wide rubber bands......
Thanks Bruce

I would stay away from 16", as the size availability is somewhat limited, there is a great selection of 17" stuff out there (and great selection of 18" as well)

I like larger wheels more so then the 15" stuff, but that sort of depends on your personal taste?

Oh, and I would say since you have moved the springs, to just take measurements to see how wide a wheel you can fit now, and for your exact backspacing as well..

If you go with a 2 piece design wheel, you can get most offsets you might need so it will fit just the combo you have put together.
