Wheel ??

[doghows]

Just curios to see what size of wheel and tire combo can fit under a Falcon?? I am dropping mine 2" in front and 1.5" in the rear. I am hoping to fit a 16 or 17" wheel. What are you guys running?? Would love some pics as well. Still looking for that right "look" for the delivery. Thanks Steve...

I'm running 15x6 wheels front and rear. Tires up front are 195-60-15 and the rear are 205-60-15.

I have a wheel/tire measuring tool. I can bring it to Gene's place next weekend and you can take it back with you. It's good to determine what will fit before you buy.

That would be cool. I have a guy at swabs over here that needs some coating done, so we are working out a trade deal for wheels. Just need to figure out size.. Thanks..

I dropped the front 2" and I'm going to go 1" in the rear. Running late model Mustang Bullitt's 17x8 with 1" spacer all around. I'm switching to 3/4" (20mm) spacers for a little more rear clearance. 225/45/17 up front and 245/45/17 out back

Tweet - Nice Sedan!

You're from Pennsauken... like in New Jersey? Welcome, not so close neighbor!

Thanks Luva65wagon. Yeah, Pennsauken NJ. You know the area? Unfortunately she's not quite so nice right now. Just before Christmas I drove her to the Cherry Hill mall to go to lunch with the wife. I parked half a mile from any other car and came out to a huge dent on the driver's lower front fender and blue paint scraped down the fender and doorNo note, no number to contact, not even a sorry. SO, now I get to two tone the car, which I was considering anyway....I already fixed the fender and shot it in epoxy and buffed off the paint marks.

No - I had no idea until I used Google. Just didn't recognize it as any place around these parts. We have a lot of people all over the country and the world posting here (we're the Washington State chapter of the FCA) but we tend to reply sometimes by telling someone to hit a local resource for help on something, without realizing they are 3000 miles away and can't exactly run down to Ballard to get the help they need. But all are still welcome. (And now you can Google Ballard... see how that works? )

Sorry to hear your car met up with some low-life. That sort of thing makes no sense to me.

Hope we can be of help to you when you need it - or vice verse.

Thanks, I'll take all the help I can get from anywhere I can get it

"(And now you can Google Ballard... see how that works? )"
Already on it.....boy it's good to see they stack the houses on top of each other out west just like over here Gotta love Google Earth.

I lived in New Jersey for two years when I was in high school. If I remember, the town was Woodbury. I was there when Kennedy was assassinated so that tells you how long ago it was. Went to the funeral procession, saw the other Kennedy brothers.
Spent time around the Cherry Hill Mall which was new at that time. Also spent a bunch of Sundays at Atco drag strip where I really fell in love with cars and hot rods. My favorites were the 1964 Fairlanes running super stock. Those were great days. Have a good day and take care. Larry
