Ok so I seen this on the Pro-Touring site and I think this CAN have the potential to turn into a sticky worthy thread. there are alot of threads asking will this look good on this etc. so this is a chance to both show off what you have as well as inform others of what they can do to thiers.
Please copy and paste the Text below to your post and simply add your information to it. Then add a picture of your car for everyone to see those nice Hoops!

Hey cutluse 231 here are few more pics of front tires just to let you know they do rub on the inner plastic wheel well, this happens when you are turning as tight as you can on front and back of plastic inner wheel well, hope you can see this in pic the black rub is on front of inner wheel well and other which is more worse is on back part of wheel well, i bought these as spares for rear and planned on skinnier one for front but still bought them yet. they ride fine and i do have 2 rubber spring spacers in each coil springs to keep it up a little thanks.
I just got my 15x8" GBody Parts rear wheels and mounted new 265/50-15's on the car tonight. I had 235/60-15 BFG TA Radials on the stock 15x7's and to be honest I'm a bit diappointed in the width of these new wheels compared to the stock wheels. One inch of extra rim width just isn't enough to make much difference in how the wheels look and with the wider tires there is a lot of tire buldge.... more than I'd like.
A 10" rim would be way too wide for me but I think if I could have some custom made I'd go 15x9 with a 3.75" back spacing. I think this size tire is perfect for my ride but the wheels just aren't right. =\
With the 4" back spacing there is 1/2" of clearance from the tire to the frame so it's really close. If they rub I'll get an 1/8" or 1/4" spacer.

Loos good, anything you would do different if you could go back? i.e. different tire/width/bs?

1984 buick T-Type rims are old school Cragar S/S. Front are 215/60/14 on 14x7, the rear are 235/60/15 on 15x12. everything is stock except for coil over shocks on the rears. wanted the old school 70's-80's staggered look.
do you have a picture from the rear? like directly from that back? I'd love to see how wide those rims look from the back.

Needing some help deciding on what I want. Could anyone photoshop the year one snowflakes black with the black front as well? (They only paint the recessed area) I have some pictures of the wheels to work with.
These, with the faces painted black as well
This is the best straight on view of the rim it's self unfortunately it's gold.
So if anybody has some time on their hands, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
