Vehicle Lowering - Attitude Adjustment
After consulting with fellow Fairlane/Torino owner Martin Pond [see "Track Star," March '06], we came up with 255/40R17s and 285/40R17s, and verified our selection against the NT 555 tire spec chart at Nitto's Web site (www.nittotire.com). In this case, the fronts are almost an inch shorter in diameter (25.08 inches versus 25.95 inches). This helps add to the rake by dropping the front. We like the classic look of Vintage Wheel Works V60 wheels, and ordered 17x8s (4.5-inch backspace) and 17x9s (5-inch backspace) per Martin's suggestion. The best short-cut to finding out what works is to ask someone who's done it. We also got some good fitment tips at www.torinocobra.com. View Related Article
