I am also trying to make decisions on initial wheel and tire setup and would like opinions on this idea. As mentioned earlier I have a nice set of factory '68 dogdish hubcaps that I'd like to run on this concept initially, i will probably have a set of 18/20 billets on here down the road.



My original plan was to mini-tub the bed(~5" tub) and run 15x7/15x10 steelies painted body color with a fairly wide and sticky rear tire on the rear (325/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials?) but these have my proverbial wheels turning.



Circle Racing 108 Series in 18x8 and either 18x11 or 20x9.5 with some wider tire in the 29" tall range. I think I would either paint the centers or the entire wheel. I should add that none of these options will have a really deep look, as I'm running a stock width '68 rearend converted to 5 lug. I will order wheels with appropriate backspace to fit the tires under the fenders.

Thoughts?

This is the best pic I've found of this wheel. I would paint yhem either white or silver, depending on my paint color.
