  • "New" wheels for my Torino

    Was playing around with an old set of wheels for my GTO and mocked them up under the Torino to see what they looked like.

    Before



    After





    I'll need to get spacers/adapters which shouldn't cost much.

    The measurements;
    Front - 245/45/18
    Back - 305/35/18

    The back tires fit just fine and with careful measurement I could probably get a 315 in there and maybe a 325 with a little trimming.

    I think they look really good, especially the back. I had trouble getting the front end to sit where I wanted it but it still looks pretty good.
    What does every one think?

    I think the old ones looked great. That giant car and those low profile tires make them look tiny in comparison to the old wheels.

      Cool car, especially with the stockers, but those new wheels look like ass if you ask me.

        I don't think they do anything for that car. I like the Magnums much better.

                    The old wheels are cooler! Put a bigger tire on the rears.

                      wow, i thought they looked pretty good. I wanted to put on bigger brakes that was one reason for the bigger wheels
