Hey guys new to The Forum and I'm already in need of some help
I have a 74 RR and I'm wanting to give it more of the restomod / pro touring look so the first thing on the chopping block is wheels and tires keep in mind this is a low budget build the wheels are
Vision Torque 143 Gun Metal Machined Lip Wheel (18x8.5"/5x114.3mm) 20 mm offset
the tires are
Achilles ATR SPORT 2 All-Season Radial Tire - 235/45-18
do you guys think that I'll have any problem with fitment or rubbing any insight would be much appreciated thanks and have a great day

Re: Tire and wheel size dilemma
My suggestion would be to buy a wheel/ tire gauge. Don't know the real name. You mount it on hub and it will tell you exactly what size and or combo will fit. Summit may have them.

Re: Tire and wheel size dilemma
never heard of that tire brand, if you want decent performance tires on the cheap buy them from https://www.discounttiredirect.com/ I live in Canada and get them shipped to the border, pick them up and they are usually around 1/2 the price of what I can find up here...
the 20mm offset might be too much, I don't run a stock setup but those that do might chime in

Re: Tire and wheel size dilemma
Did you pursue getting that tire? Heard over from a guy at the local meet up who recently got them and never heard any complain.
Re: Tire and wheel size dilemma
To me, 18's don't look right on a classic car. My buddy runs 17's with 5mm offset. They don't look too big. He fitted some touring tires in 315/35/17 size.
