    Huge wheels wanted on a 70 Cuda,,,,, what will fit?

    Ok, what is the proper backspacing and what brand will fit, want  18"-19" or 20-" without any modification of body, springs or frame. I have seen 19" on fronts and 20" on back of cudas at show. What about tires. Thanks!!!

    Here are some pics of a Cuda, Challenger, and a Charger with 20's. I know the guy selling these cars. All are using stock back spacing and no spring mods.

    I think 20's are over kill on these cars, my car has 17x8's and looks great.

    I have 20 x 8 with 4.5 backspacing in rear.   255x35

    I have about two fingers from lip in the front and one in the rear.

    Blackcuda, what size tires do you have? Looks like the rears are slightly larger, great look btw!

    What rear springs do you have? Your stance is what I am looking for. Thanks

    The front are 245/40 17 and the rear is 265/50 17", I'm not happy with the rear tires and I'm going to change them to 255/40 17". The rears are to tall and throw off the speedo.
    The car does look good the way it sit's, the springs are stock originals.

    Thanks, the wheels are Coys 17x8's with 4.5" backspace. Here are more pics, the second pic I had 17x7's front before I changed them.
