" Looking at what I can do with the 69 Ambo coupe as far as wheels and

" size that will fit these wheel openings.  Anybody done something cool?

nothing scientific, but i always figured 15x8s with 235/60s would've
fitted my '67 [marlin] pretty well.

i wanted to use repro mopar rallies, as i think they complemented the
look of the car better than shiny alum.  they can be had up to 15x10
and maybe 16" or 17" sizes too now, and i believe 4.5" backspacing
will -just- clear the susp.  you want a deep backspacing for the
widest rim.
