    anyone tried to put a 22" wheel on the rear axle on a Riviera -71 -72?
    I had 20" rims on an old -72 riviera but was going with 20" in front and 22" in the rear on my new build
    but don't know if there is enough room for tires and rims
    also planning to air bag the car to get the stance I am looking for ...

    any advice ? or experience from anyone out there?

    Mini tub, get a custom offset and backspacing. Make the rear stupid deep like a 6 or 7 inch lip it will look very nice. Oh and don't forget to post a pic in the what wheel and tire combo are you runnin thread:) its gonna look good just go with a 2 or 3 peice wheel.
