I am building a 1930 tudor model A sedan. Want it to sit low with air bags. I am planning on putting Firestone 750 16 white wall tires on rear: http://www.cokertire.com/750-16-firestone-4-1-2-whitewall-tire.html
Section width 8.28in
Diameter 31.48in
I don't know backspace of wheels, but I plan on putting steelie rims, and may just buy them new from someone like coker so I don't have to deal with bolt pattern differences. I am considering a 9" rearend for it, but have been told it measures 65" from disc brake backing plate to backing plate.
What rearend and width size do you recommend for these cars?
I plan on running a chevy small block engine with a turbo 350 trany.
Also, what gear ratio would work best with the diameter size of the tire? I will be doing mainly in town driving.
I realize I need to take more measurements to figure this out, but thought there is someone out there that has already done this.
Thanks
