Your opinion on which wheel and size on 57 chevy.

Wanting to put a 17" or 18" wheel on my 57 which one do you guys like best and would you do 17s or 18s. I am planning on a 255/50 for the rear and a 225/50 for the front so I still have a sidewall.

I like both wheels; like the five spokes for a classic look, and the minilite style is more of a road race old school look. On a 57 I'd lean towards the five spokes.

One thing I would add............ I think a 57 needs a much taller tire than you're planning. It's a big car, and has plenty of room to fill in the wheelwells.

With 255's and 225's I'd have to say 17's. I'm hoping you decide to go wider. Mini Lites dont belong on a '57.

I would tend to lean towards the 5 spoke also, which gives it a more classic look and I think matches the black ext. / red int.

Like Jody said, a taller tire will fill the fenders better. You might find more of the taller sizes available in 18" vs 17".

17's. And yea agreed on the tire sizes. Also noticeable price jump in tires from 17 - 18's.
