    Well the 14x6's almost fit, am in the process of modifying the rear wheel wells to make them fit.

    I got a long way to go yet... Just posted a video yesterday. Body is ready for sandblasting, now I'm taking apart the chassis so I can send the frame out for sandblasting, then it's time to bag it and see what I can get away with as far as the wheels. I cant't wait!!

    They're 15"x7" Reversed Supremes, with 205/70-15 Cornell 1000 tires. I'm happy with how they look on my 60 Olds at least.

    Bring your car to a tire shop. I'm sure they can help you measure and figure out what you can fit under there. :)

    This is a Merc I saw in our neighbouring town here in Norway. Not sure if it's a 65 or a 66 (hey, I'm a GM guy), but they do look cool lowered! Would look even cooler with supremes and pinner whites of course! Hehe!

    That's the other thing I'll be battling is whether to go 14" or 15"....
     
  14. I didn't go Supremes on my 61 Sunliner....did the chrome " oe " aka chrome reverse wheels. 14 x 6 standard offset...tires are 195/75/14
