Re: 17x8's on 64 galaxie
Tires and wheels are like women, no offense Shotrod, some like em bigger and some like em smaller. If we all liked the same thing there wouldn't be any surgery augmented women running around and now, what kind of fun would that be.
As my own opinion, I am in the middle on wheel sizes. I've seen 14" on a total concours type resto that looked good and 20" on a pro-street build that looked good. I opted for the less expensive meet in the middle with 17" rear and 16" front. I feel my car would look too "stock" with 14" or even 15" wheels. I would have loved to go 18" rear and 17" front but that would have meant two sets of custom wheels instead one. By the way, anything larger than 16" in an American Racing TT II has to be custom built so they can charge you an extra $100.00 a wheel.
