Pro-Stars and Auto Drags are a couple of my favorites. Also Torque Thrusts look great.

I run 17x9 all around on mine ,5" backside or 0 offset .
What size tire are you running on those 17x9 and was there a reason you went with the same size all around - most people go narrower on the fronts?

235's in the front (i believe) and 15x10's in the back on 295/50/15's.

Do you know that the back spacing is that works on the front and back? Looks great by the way. It is lowered at all?

Ive got 245 45 in front and 255 50 on back , and the ride IS NOT rough .In fact very smooth ride even with the tight springs I have . I went same size all around this time because the car tracks and handles better to me this way .I used to have 15x10 on the back and Super Bee's look cool that way too .

Bigger than 18" is going to have serious low profile tires and if not may need the wheel wells modified. Honestly, I think 18" is about as large as it gets before it starts looking a little distasteful or out of place (coming from the kid who likes the restomod look). But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well these are 17x8 up front & 17x11 in the rear the rear tire is 29" tall so I think there is plenty of room for sidewalls...

5.5 inch in the back... but is VERY close. I put a 1/8 spacer on it so it doesnt rub around hard corners or going up hill and turning.... fronts are just some old 14 inch wheels. i'm guessing 4.5 in the front. I want to replace them with some new 15's though. Back end has air shocks Front is stock or at least I haven't put anything special on it to lower it, it's how i got it.

staggared 18 rear/17 front works well for a B body. I'd think you could go as wide as 10 in the back and 9 in front. I run 18x9.5 rear w/5.5" backspace and 17x8 front with 4.5" backspace. I lowered my torsion bars a little and put 1" lowering blocks in the rear.
What are the tire sizes? Do you have a full side view?
