Tire size also plays a role in this choice, especially if you are running some big ones on the back. The original style TTO's don't have a lot of back spacing so tire size can be a problem. The newer wheels have almost unliited choices for you....no one has mentioned rallyes....they can look good too. Post some pics of the car and what tires you are going to use (black wall, raised white letters, redlines, etc.)

Sean, E-70 x 14 was the stock tire size for the SS Nova...15" looks better...more stance. What size tire are you running now..??? I think something like an F-70 x 15 on the front and G or H on the back would look good. We have that setup on our 70 Black L78 Auto.

I do like the way that looks!!! I have Firestone 205/75R 15's.

staggered rallyes with big caps, or american racing TTO's with redlines.

What width 15x6-15x7-15x8??? The offset seems pretty dang tight.

We have 15 x 6 on the front and 15 x 7 on the rear...the TTO's will limit your tire size due to their backspacing. You could use the tires you have without a problem...probably 235's on the rear and 215's on the front would work with the Torque Thrusts...maybe a little more...those are 67 Chevelle/Chevy 2 dog caps on our 70...something different from the million other cars with COPO caps

I've got 15x6 and 15x7 rims on it. I think I've got like a 195 or 205 tire on the front, and I know I've got 255s on the rear. The drivers side cleared fine. I had to roll the quarter panel lip slightly on the passenger side because when I went around sharp curves, the tire would rub. It seems like I remember reading about several guys having the same issue that I did with tire clearance, that the driver's side had more clearance than the passenger side. As posted above, you would be safer with a 235 tire.

Torque thrusts are nice but every new mustang has a look alike pair on them, Cragers are more old school.

Nobody mentioned slots.. I have always liked the look of a set of Ansen or Fenton slots .

I have 16x7 and 16x8 polished TT II's on mine, but E/T Mags or the TTO's look great with the Fathom Blue! Just my opinion.
