1965 / 1966 Fury's ..what tire size have you used ?

1965 / 1966 Fury's ..what tire size have you used ? - 07/30/08 01:43 PM

I need larger tires on the Fury, I thought these would fill the wheel openings but, they are way too small
currently 235 x 60's on rear 225's on front
Not excited about the looks of the wheels on the car either so..

Thinking american racing Torque Thrusts
and going 255 x 70's on rear but, wonder if they will fit

The main problem is getting them on between brake drum and wheel opening , once they are on I think they will fit

Anyone have any expericance on what will fit on them ?

I can fit 265's on the rear of my 65 polara if jack the car by the frame and let the axle sag. They say 270's will fit

I'd think about upping the size to 17" wheels. I'll bet that would look really good on that station weapon.

Maybe something like these chromed Dodge Nitro wheels?

I'm sure there's probably a good deal to be found for take-offs at a dealership in the area.

Or howzabout these stock 17" steelies off a 1500 Ram?

I better get my bullet proof vest on but ..

Yeah, I did consider 17's ..

My 1st thought is shuffle the ones over from my truck to check fitment see if they fit

But, the plan would be for the grey centered ones
although, those steel ones you posted other than that cheap looking center are not awful

They don't look too bad, do they?
And the bid price to start is CHEAP, with just 2 days left.
Plus, you get to stick with the SILVER paint scheme

Kicker is I think the bolt pattern is 5 on 5 1/2 ?

Re: 1965 / 1966 Fury's ..what tire size have you used - 07/31/08 03:01 AM

Really?? Dang...I did not know that.
Well, the Charger/Magnum/300 stock steelie is 17", close to 5 on 4.5"

Re: 1965 / 1966 Fury's ..what tire size have you used - 07/31/08 03:06 AM

Unless they changed something thats the bolt pattern on them

Now, the jeep cherokees I think are 4 1/2

I would run straight old steel wheels with red line tires but, I'm affraid thats a WHOLE lotta white with that big billboard

I like this look too

Mine's a '67, but fitment is probably similar. I have 255/60/17s on the back. A buddy has 255/70/15s on a '67 Fury vert. In both cases, you've got to jack it way up by the frame to get the tire in there.
Cragar has some relatively cheap steel 17s available from Summit. I used to have Mustang bullit wheels on my wagon but switched to the steelies a couple months ago.

Gotta admit the Torque Thrusts look good.
Here's a Jeep wheel that is 17" and has 4.5" bolt pattern...but it's pricey too

That Jeep wheel is for a Liberty, btw, so I imagine a Dodge Nitro has the same bp.

Don't suppose you have a closer view

Also, there is two 65 wagons laying in the weeds by here that if needed can get parts off of

The one, I prefer to wait till cooler weather would show up
cause , I think its most likely a snake house

Around $800 a set for 17's

'in guy like you would be able to swing a few sets I'm sure..

Re: 1965 / 1966 Fury's ..what tire size have you used - 07/31/08 04:11 PM

The rears are a little tricky,putting on and off,gotta lift the car up a lttle bit,but otherwise they went on fine. Figuring you already have that silver car with big ol back tires,compared to that,changing tires on the back of my wagon is a breeze.

Re: 1965 / 1966 Fury's ..what tire size have you used - 07/31/08 04:19 PM

This thing is a MAJOR job to put rears on
We have to put it on a 4 post lift and use the jack to lift it way in the air , drop shock bolts

Unhook brake line brackets ..

But, the wagon is different, if you ae driving and have a flat, well . then what ?

These are USA made (local) and believe real TT's are up there abit too (and think these are like $195 per?)

The American Eagle versions where right around the same price, but they are not going to be around for long..(and hard to get now with production way down on them)
