There's just something about 20" spokes that bring a touch of class to a full sized old school luxury car like this.... Not putting them on until the paint is finished though...
Not my style of wheel but that is why there are so many different wheels. Different spokes for different folks in this case.
I like them! You should for sure put them on before you paint th ecar as you may need to roll the fender lips or order spacers to keep them from rubbing. if you do have to do any mds to make them fit you will want to do it before you paint the car!
When I was in high school. If, someone wanted new wheels for their car the choices were Cragers or Keystones
don't have to roll the fenders, they fit. I tried them out, just don't want to dirty them up. On my muscle/race cars, I go for a different style of rim, but on this... man these were made for this car. Yes, they're a bitch to keep clean, but hey, that's the price you pay for greatness... I wanted to put some "swangers", or "elbows" on it, as that's how we do it in Houston, but I fear those would hit the rear fender, and as wide as the car is now, I'd never make it through a drivethrough... so I went old school 20" Daytons. I've put a pic of the swangers for those who aren't familiar...
ive seen it were a person has cut the frame under upper control arm to put big rims and tires what ever you do dont cut bend alter the car to put tires accessories or anything else on it all mine have bolt on mods
I'm not knocking your rims but get ready for a crappy ride and possibly a flat tire every week. We are car dealers and have gotten many cars with 20"s and 22"s, trust me, don't throw your stock rims away you'll be putting them back on within a year !!!
I like the 20" spokes for full size cars. But I always said if I put some on one of my cars, Id go with taller tires to try and keep some ride comfort and fill out the wheel wells even more.
I'm not worried about the tires; I've been riding 20" and up for years with no problems. I actually prefer the ride. For what you lose in softness, you gain in handling. And anything that keeps boats like these from plowing corners is a good thing. Besides, I think it's next to impossible for this car to ride "crappy" lol. I did play with the idea of using the lo-pro 20" truck tires though... they are a little taller. And no need to cut the frame or wheel wells or anything... I could probably tuck 22"'s and make it site down. I can't stand that **** where they jack it way up on like 28" rims. That **** is stupid to me... I like my Buick LOW. The overall height of the 20" tires is just about the same as the regular tires that is on it now.
