65 TBird.....needs rims and tires

[Hoopinhill]

Hey guys...just inherited a 65 TBird. Been sitting for 15 yrs and needs rims and tires. Any recommendation on size?

Be aware that the only wheels that will fit that car in front are 1965-67 Thunderbird due to the caliper on the brakes. No other stock wheels will fit. If you go with some custom ones you will more than likely have to use a spacer also. When the company tells you to measure the backspace..... that is not going to help because the back space does not take into consideration that you have a larger than normal caliper.
