Fitting Tires and Wheels

When measuring for tire fitment, don’t overlook potential contact with the tie-rod ends as shown on our 1967 Impala wearing a 17x9 Weld wheel with 5-1/2-inch backspacing. The solution is either less backspacing (5-inch would work here) or a larger rim diameter that would allow the tie rod to tuck inside the wheel.
