Test Fit some 275's...
Looks like they're going to fit great under the rear of my Cutlass...
I really wanted to run a 6 Spoke wheel like the Modern Oldsmobiles do. The only 5 lug one I could find though is made by Centerline and only comes in 8 inches wide.
So I'll brobably end up going with some BS Vintec Dish wheels.
For the Heck of it I also mocked up a Momo I had on a 93 Cutlass Conv. I once owned. Looks pretty good, but they're only 7.5" wide and I doubt I would get much traction w/ only 245's once I start making some power.

I hear deep tubs calling your name!!
With a car as large as that, all tires will look like spare tire donut wheels.
I don't think the 5 spoke is the right wheel for the car either, but I'd like to see the 6 spoke ones. You need a 345 in the rear of that land yacht.
What are the other plans for the car?

I think the wheels that were used on the "Overhaulin" 442 would look pretty sweet on that car.
