Hi all,
just purchased a 71 350 4spd coupe that should be arriving today or tomorrow at the latest. Was looking at some wheels and wanted to know if there would be a problem with these wheels. 18x7 5x4.75 with a 3.5 bs. 4" to the outside edge. My car has flares but im not sure how to go about this... your help would be most appreciated.
Welcome from a '72 owner! My '72 has factory flares, so I am not sure about your specific car. My '72 has the factory 15 or 16 inch rallies on it with BFG Radial T/A's. They fit just fine, with plenty of room for expansion. However 18 inch rims with tires in my opinion should fit, I prefer smaller wheels personally to accommodate larger tires. Also, your car has '72 front blinker lens. 1971 models had a white/clear lens, not amber.
