Still Cant Find Suitable Rubber for the Torque Thrust 2's
On my 67 Fastback I have 17x7 with 3 1/4 backspacing up front which I believe is stock backspacing and a Stainless Steel disc brake conversion. In the rear I have 17x8 with 3 3/4 backspcing. Now the cars been lowered 1" with Canadian Mustang parts which makes the front pretty low. I cant seem to find a tire that will fit the front. Im going with 245 45 vr17 in the rear and I think I need to run 225 35 vr17 in the front to clear the wheel arch when turning the wheel. I found one tire that would work but it was the wrong load capacity (the car was 500lbs to heavy for the tire) and the salesman was no help other than that. Im thinking of trying a 225 40 but I have doubts that it wont work. The maximum height the tire can be is about 23 1/2 inches tall. I know Ive asked before but is anyone running 17's with what is believed to be stock 3 1/4 backspacing up front, if so what tire are you running. Im open to all opinions. Ive already got the wheels so changing the backspacing isnt an option right now. Thanks everyone....Fastback Pony
