I have a standard height 69 2000, and I see these nice chrome wheels at Summit Racing. Will these work? thanks MILT

Those should fit nicely, but are you sure they are 4x114.3? I am surprised Summit still has that older era bolt pattern, they must not sell much of them.

I installed 205/60s on restored 14' x 5.5 +12 Western Wheels. Plenty of room front and rear. :)

looks nice, and when you turn the wheel to the left or right, how much space is there between the front fender and the tire?
Can you show pictures how the look and of the stay in the fenderspace from the top, and do you use wheel extenders or not.
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.

This is the only other current picture I have, but it shows the wheel at maximum turn. The fit did not require any spacers on the wheels. I am considering installing competition springs to lower the front end a bit for a better look.

BTW There are lots of other images of wheel, tire, spring combinations in the wheel and tire topic.

that looks as space in off, my mesh wheels with 155 R14 have only 1cm left at the front fender with a 1cm spacer.
But I also want lower tire's on it, I was thinking at 185/60/14.
Another point is maybe the fender size?
I have an 66 car and the front fenders are smaller.
