I want to keep the "stock" look on my wagon, but want to go with a larger wheel so that I have more options for tires now and into the future. I have done some google searches and come with lots of custom places to have wheels widened but not plus sizes. Any thoughts would be great. Going on a 67 B-body wagon. Thanks

I think some 17" or larger steelies would look awesome on a B body. I have only really seen anything larger than 17 made of aluminum to look like steelies. I believe there are a few places that take 15" centers and put them in 16-17" hoops. Remenber though, 17" or larger actual steel wheels will be heavy as heck. I have 22" steelies on my Silverado and they weigh a ton! Actually cut my mpg's more than I thought they would.

Jeff 383, that is one of very few late style GM trucks I have seen that I like... and I like that one a lot.



It takes gasoline to interest me.
