Dans '70 Z20 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 No issue in doing so but just make sure the height of sidewall of rear tire is the same or larger than front or it will look funny. There was actually a 56 Nomad in one of the magazines a few years back with 18" up front and 17" in rear do to large wheel opening in front and smaller wheel opening in rear. It actually looked OK.

shoalssales Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Did you have to cut any of the frame too or just the wheelwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Have you looked through this "pinned" topic...http://www.firstgenmc.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3188-wheel-and-tire-data-base/ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 the frame and well are almost in line with each other..according to Bill's chart i should be able to notch the frame..I have already cut 4" of the trunk pan out just in case I end up backhalfing the frame in the furture..as for now I will try to notch as much as I can as a backhalf is an expensive venture ..with the dollar the way it is ..even if I do it myself...In the pic I have supported the tire to see how the car would look with the tires..me so happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
