    Looks good. This thread will be much more useful to anyone looking at it if you include the back spacing you used. Just sayin.

    It's way better to post that info in his other thread that's named "Anyone know how wide of a wheel I can fit on a 1971 Le Sabre?"
    Not a lot of people looking for that kind of info for their 1971 B-body will search for/click on a thread that's named "New wheels installed"

    If he doesn't, I will post it, once we find out for sure.

    Posted details in the other thread, but went 18 x 8 and 18 x 9.5 with zero offset all the way around.

    OK, that means the front 8" wheels have 4.5" back spacing.

    Larry, how's the difference in ride quality between the stock and custom rim/tire combos?

    While this thread is not about my car, I have always had 60 aspect ratio tires on my car. Shorter sidewall tires potentially ride harder. I found ride is more affected by tires more than anything else, but that is just my experience. The Cooper Cobra Radials on my car ride noticeably better than the BF Goodrich tires they replaced.

    Looks cool. I saw those Ridler 606's while browsing the wheels on 4wheelonline. I like their classic design.

    The ride is pretty much identical... like riding in a couch.

    What a great UP-grade! Nice looking wheels for a nice looking ride. I've never seen hubcaps I like. That setup turns your car from a frumpy old mans car to a real looker. IMO.
