'64 Skylark 18/20 wheel recommendations? - Lateral-g Forums

Chris89Stang · #1 08-29-2008, 02:05 PM

Looking for some help on wheel sizes.

The car is a '64 Buick Skylark. We are looking at going with 18's on the front and 20's on the back.

We are using Classic Performance's Complete front and rear disc brake kit with drop spindles. The car will be lowered and most likely "bagged" this winter.

What are some good recommended wheel width, backspacing, and tire sizes?

Thanks!

Jon @ DriverzInc is who I would recommend to contact. He will get you all setup with wheels/tires and even the air bag suspension when your ready.

He just helped us out getting wheels/tires for our project Nova.

Can someone recommend a good place to buy Billet Specialties wheels?

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

I went with 18's on my 64.
