Re: [Amc-list] Tire Size

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keith,

My 70 Javelin has 255R45-17 tires on 17 x 8 Ansen Sprint wheels on the back.
The wheel wells are not full.

I have seen a 70 Javelin with 15 x 10 wheels and very wide tires on it,
can't remember what size they were.

The fronts on my Javelin are 235R40-17 with 17x 7 Ansen Sprint wheels.

I could have actually put the rear wheels and tires on the front and went
with wider rear wheels and tires if only
Ansen made a wider 17 inch wheel with the correct offset.

If you are careful in picking wheels and get the correct offset, you can get
a monster tire under a Javelin or AMX.

I got pictures of my Javelin if you want to see the wheels and tires.

Let me know

Armand
