Front: Dan Gurney Wheels, Nankang 135's, 4 inch Narrowed Beam with no Shocks.
Rear: Dan Gurney Wheels, Falken 195/65/15's, 2 Notch drop in the rear.
Future plans are switching Wheels to the Sprint Star Style 8 Spokes, I get a lot of negative feedback on the Gurneys...

Here's my '66:
Front:
2" Atomwerks beam
2.5" Empi spindles
15x4 smoothies
155/60/15 smartcars
Rear:
2.5" Bugzylla drop plates
15x8 widened smoothies
195/60/15
Rides good, very very slight rubbing on fenders when turned to full lock. |
