Reply to "Forgeline Wheel Fitment for stock '72"

Joules is correct; Marty's wheels are 18" x 8" and 18" x 12". I have a stock bodied Pantera with 17" x 9" and 18" x 12-1/2" HRE's. If I were doing it all over again, I'd use 17" x 8" or 17" x 8.5" in the front, rather than 17" x 9". That would make the fronts less likely to rub and would give me the option of running a 245/40-17 or a 235/40-17. A 9" wide wheel is really too wide for a 235 width tire. At the rear I'd use an 18" x 12". A 335 width tire looks better on a 12" wide wheel and it would be a bit less likely to rub the upper frame rail. My wheels are 21mm offset in the front and 16mm offset in the rear. I'd use these same offsets with the wheel sizes I suggested.

My tires are 245/40-17 and 335/30-18 BFG Rival S 1.5 from The Tire Rack.
