Beautiful car! I think I decided to go with 16x7 all around. Could I still use the 4" of backspacing? I guess it depends on how much a front disk brake conversion kit moves out the mounting spot?

I've reading some of the archives. What do yall think of 17 inch wheels with 50 series?

They are 65/66 repro knock offs.
Redlines for 67. If it's a driver, leave it be and just drive it. They are very nice wheels. Just my .02
