Jocko, for what it's worth, you have a great looking car. I've always pulled for the bigger A-body Oldsmobiles from the era you have built, but yours sits and looks killer. Someone here told you to finish it and that is sound advice. Get all the weight on it, the six speed in it, narrow the rear, discs, then go sling it into some curves. Then you will see Jon's wisdom in the selection. If it's a cruiser car, go with the 315's or fatter. Shame to see all that kick butt suspension and slick brakes and not throw it around some cones.

A few years back Jon spend a few hours on the phone with me about wheels and backspacing, all the while calls were coming in and he didn't hurry or rush me in any way. Thousands of great and satisfied people can't be undone by one whom it seems is "seeing the light" as far as wheel fitment goes. Jon did right by you, trust me, scrubbing wheels and tires suck, and one inch is a gift the first time you really get your beast in a twist suspension wise.

Good luck on completing your build.
