I have a buick GS400 convertible that I am in the process of installing 13inch front disc brakes and tubular upper and lower control arms with coil over. I am going to need new rims and new an idea of largest tire size I can go without rubbing or interfering with the brakes. I would possibly like to use fender skirts in the rear but don't know for sure. I am also lost on what rims would compliment the car, Anyone have ideas.. Thanx for the help/ Here are a couple pics of the car as it sits now.
By the way it currently has hotchkis lowering springs in the front and rear. I can't afford to rebuild the rear suspension yet but what should I be saving to get for the suspension back there?

Cool Buick! I was looking for one of those before I found my 64 Skylark.

Asking a few hundred people what wheels to buy is like asking the same few hundred people what flavor ice cream to eat at an ice cream shop called 500 flavors but since you asked and I have a wheel company, I'd love to put a set of Rushforth Wheels on there. We've done a few Buicks and a lot of A-Bodies so fitment is no issue. We've put as much as 19x8s and 20x10s on 66 and 67 A-Bodies like this client's Tempest with similarly shaped wheelwells so fitting your Buick will be no problem.
