Re: Pics of Pops Comet
Great looking '64 Pop!!
Re: Pics of Pops Comet
Very very nice looking car sir, can I ask what your tire & rim combo is? I mean, I realize they are Torque Thrusts or something similar, but what I am wondering is the size & back spacing is? I would really love to go this route with my 63.
Thank you in advance,
Nick

Re: Pics of Pops Comet
WELL,NICK,this is a far cry from in the morning,but ....those whls and tire combo on POP's comet are----14x6 (all4)torque D thrust with215-70's on the front and 225-70's on the rear ,with a 31/4 back spaceing,thats' as much as I can put on the rear,I just can put my finger in front of the tire and the body,but under normal conditions they never rub,but if the trunk is loaded heavy and or grown people are in the back seat,I do get a rub now and again,but mainly when I hit a highway pot hole or in a hard lean ,but MT with just me --it's just fine,,,I think the same set up would work for you,,when they do rub on the rear,it sounds worst then it is,cause it don't even MAR the tire,,the front are perfect,they don't touch anything....sorry for the delay in answering you but I've been covered up with this grand son and his stuff best of luck in which ever way you go,need anything else just post it...thank you POPpopscomet wrote:NICK,let me do some checking in the morning and I'll get back to you,and thank-you....POP

The correct wheel and tire combo for a 63.5!!
Can you imagine how much better that combo would look on your hardtop??

Oh man that looks good!!
Re: Pics of Pops Comet
JMO,those whls look good on that comet,because of the COLOR of the paint and the width of the rear tires....to me those whls are brand x nova whls,but this is JMO,it's hard to beat tt D'S,and on a white or off white car at that,,but like I said thats JMO ,and you can put a dollar with it and go to MICKY D'S and get a small coffee...POP

Re: Pics of Pops Comet
Thank you ,JOE,POP and GLENDA have owned several COOL cars in our almost 47yrs of marriage,but the comet is one that is on the front page ,near thetop of the list.To be very honest,our 67 fairlane 2drht sbf 4spd was our pick,When parked side by side,they just set each other off in the shop or in the drive way,but I let my alligator mouth overload my mocking-bird ass and sold the fairlane,,,.and Glenda got very upset,just like she did when I traded off my 56 studebaker HAWK,for my 55 crown -VIC....thanks again...POPcomethead wrote:Just looked at your Comet pics again Pop...holy moly that car is cool!
