72, had since '86 408C/4R70W
I haven't seen anything on this in a while, but does anyone know what size tires, and rim widths/offsets to run on a '72 for fronts and rears? I've had the indentation for the spare on the right inner wheelhouse removed, so that shouldn't be a factor. I've also noticed on every 71-3 I've ever seen that the right rear wheel sits about 3/8 inch closer to the wheel lip than the left side does. I know a person can fix that with a custom wheel offset, but would that cause some unforeseen problems with vehicle stability? It's as if Ford engineered it that way on purpose. I also have a 69-70 rear axle housing to use in this car in hopes of getting a better looking offset for the rear wheels so they more resemble the fronts.

 
That's exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks a lot! That convertible has the perfect stance, and the tires are in good proportion to the wheels and wheel openings.
