In Topic: Pro Touring Wheels (Long)

The pro touring trend is all about taking the wonderful styling and massive motors of the muscle cars and putting newly engineered suspensions that handle like a super car, but look as awesome as only a muscle car can. The large diameter wheels and short sidewalls are all about cornering. Obviously there's a limit, but we're talking about pro-touring, not donks or high-rollers, which is all about looks

 

Pro-touring is more about handling and cornering. The short sidewalls allow for better cornering and the larger diameter wheels keep the overall outer diameter roughly the same as the smaller diameter wheels with taller sidewalls.

 

By the way - here's my 69 GTO Pro Tourer:

Chevy's reasoning, as I've heard it, is that the main market for the Vette is older gentlemen and they prefer a softer ride than coil-overs provide.  So they have the mono leaf front and rear to provide the softer ride the target market prefers.

It's not a mustang II, but the chassis and suspensions (front and rear) in the 39 Wagonrod are pretty nice.  The 37 Ford kits previously mentioned are nice as well. I think that the Phantom Vickie is a mustang II "style" as the mustang II did not have tubular A arms.
