    as the title suggests....anybody got pics of a 57 (or 55/56) with astro supremes with wide whites fitted?
    while my car is basically stock except for a little lowering, I wondered what it might look like with these wheels?
    all I can find are ones with hubcaps or wires and the occasional billets

    thanks

    I'm not a fan of wide whites on supremes... skinny whites look good on a 57...

    looks good.
    I dont mind astros with either wide whites or thin bands...they both look good.
    I have some 225/70 and 255/70 radial wide whites already(on another project), but I think the 255's might be too big out back?


    dont suppose anybody has fitted air ride shockwaves to the front of a 57 buick with stock suspension?

    Is it OK if the Buick is chopped?

    I'm thinking the 255's will be to big as well... as for the shockwaves, well I don't have a stock suspension to look at so I can't really get an idea right now.

    Just a friendly heads up. Measure the I.D. on the center of the rims. My american wheel supremes are too small and won't fit over the center hubs on my 56 special.:( Looking into using spacers.

    ahh....good point.
    I will check that as I was possibly looking at the Unique Super Supremes that Cragar are selling.

    zman, I have looked at the suspension while we had the car on the hoist, looked to me like shockwaves would work well, but it pays to ask before shelling out the $$
