Thanks for the props! The wheels are Boyd Coddington 'Timeless'. They are 17X8 with 4" backspace (same as stock) so they fit with no spacers or adapters. The 255/45/17 tires sit in the wheel wells about exactly the same as did the 255/60/15 I previouosly had on the stock 15X8 rally wheels. I got them from a vendor at a Good Guys hot rod show (special order) but they can be ordered by most wheel/tire shops. They are made to order so there is always a wait, but soometimes they have wheels that people failed to pay for, ready to go. They are by far the biggest improvement to the handling of my car. Now I am working on a front cross brace and a possible roll bar or rear cross brace to accomodate the extra torque and triwst these babies put on my frame.
