SMcCown Intro

[SMcCown]

I just bought my dream...now it's time to go to work. I'm not going to do anything major, just wheels and motor. I have wanted this car since I was 19 and I'm now 42.. Long wait but entirely worth it. I hope to get from this site the knowledge gained by other roadrunner lovers. I have found trial and error usually gets expensive..

Welcome! What is it? :jester:

 

[SMcCown]

1969 roadrunner...bare bones stock with no mods whatsoever....I reviwed some of the other threads and found that 275/60/15 is a good match. I will have my kids in back, so I never want it to rub... I've also seen that a bunch of y'all run 8" with 4.5 backspace...should I ask for pics of this set up?

 

[cj69RR]

Welcome. And we are going to ask for pictures also. I have 275/45/17 on the rear of mine and no where near a rub.

 

[SMcCown]

Did you do 17 on the front as well? I'm thinking about the foose legands... 17 on front and rear....thoughts? Do you have any good shots of you wheels and tires?

welcome, now let's see your dream!

 

[quikbird]

welcome!!! I run 17 x 8's on the front and 17 x 9's on the rear ( only because they don't make a wider wheel on my pattern )

 

[Basketcase]

no you don't...your car hasn't come out of the garage all year!!:acme::acme::acme::jester:

 

[quikbird]

It truly pains me to say that's true, but the wheels are still on it!!

Is that an F-3 Green Car, Dave?

 

[rockdog2112]

Very nice.

 

[rockdog2112]

Welcome SmcCown. Great info here.

 

[MsBeep]

Welcome! The dream never dies... and it is great to see you have found one of the sweetest cars to roll out of Detroit.

Is that an F-3 Green Car, Dave?

might be, but I'm leaning towards F5
