Yup, check with Jon. He just set me up with wheels and tires for my 64 Skylark, although mine is mini tubbed; he's the man! Cool to see another early Buick build!

18/18 or 18/19 looks a lot better on the early a-bodies IMO

Good choice. I would like to have gone 18/19 on mine but the price difference for the wheels and tires just went too far over buget. I am very happy with the 18 x 9 / 18 x 10 I ended up with.

I had 3 recommendations but they were all the same place. I was looking for an alternative.

Just joined the 64 Skylark ranks myself and looking forward to hitting the road and seeing all the little differences between all of them and sharing info, etc. Keep in touch, guys and keep the info shared and flowing! As soon as mine goes up on jackstands, I'll be starting a project thread.

I saw your post in the other forum and judging from the pics it looks like a twin of our car!



I've seen some of your work some I'm really anxious in checking out what you do to it.

Ours will hopefully be on the road next month and I will be sure to post some pics.

Whoa! That car is the twin to mine! Too funny! I'll get some progress shots and a rendering going ASAP. Keep in touch on yours too.
