7 inch wheels! on the front of a 1200...

What diameter wheels are they? When you are talking that wide, then the total diameter must be taken into account, because they might end up hitting the spring perch. When you trial fit them, do the tires hit the strut body or does it hit the spring perch?

Some of the race guys might be able to measure up their front wheels. But if it's a street car, I don't think 7 inch rims will fit. Because of the original tires were so small, the wheel offset required to fit them to a 1200 gets very unusual when you go to 7 inch. It's this unusual offset that makes getting "wheels to fit" very difficult, requiring someone to accurately measure up and fabricate rims especially for you application, thus one of the reasons why Simmons Wheels is still in business.

Anyone here got 7 inch rims on the front of their 1200? I know you can get them to fit on 1600s (510) but not 1200s.
