I just got new wheels for my 67 Firebird. 18x8 (5" BS) front, and 18x9 (5.375" BS) rear. The 18x9 wheels fit tight at the back ( I would not go any bigger unless the car is mini tubbed). Suspension on my car is stockish with SPC uppers/lowers/2" drop springs front, and 1.5" drop leaves rear.

No pictures of the wheels on the car yet, as I'm waiting for the tire shop to fix 2 leaking valve stems.

Also, if I were to shop for wheels again, I would not get wheels that have the valve stem holes behind the spokes. I had to use flush mount valve stems in order to clear the brake calipers, and so far they have been painful.
