Will 18" wheels fit my '69?

[EvilManor]

Found a really great deal on a set of 18" wheels and tires on craigslist. Not exactly what I want, but my M&M desperately needs some tires. Had a blowout while sitting in the driveway (seriously just sitting there) ...lol.

Can I run 18" wheels/tires without rubbing?

I'm not certain on the actual tire dimensions, but they appear to be a lower profile tire.

I think you'd be safe with the wheel diameter. Just make sure the backspacing is the same...

As Larry stated, diameter is much less of a concern. Tire diameter calculator here:

If I can run 22's on my 70, you can run 18's LOL

Wasn't your 70 bagged?

I missed out on the 18's so I just got some replacements for the time being.

No, it was on my list of things to do.

My 1st hearse was.
