Will 18x8s and 18x10s (rear) fit on my 67 GS. If so what size tires should I be running. Thanks.

BTW what were the stock wheel and tire sizes. My car hasnt arrived just yet.

One more thing, the spacing is only 4.5 front and rear I believe. I will also be adding a C5 brake kit if that makes a difference.

You're going to have a REALLY hard time fitting anything like that in your rear wheel wells. See the thread about stuffing a 275/50 or 275/60 under a '66, they have ~10" contact area and are close, if not rubbing.

You're also going to have a really hard time around here getting advice on rimming up your Buick, unless you're taking about Cragar S/S', Buick Rallys, or Factory Steelies LOL :Do No:

you`re gonna need alot more than that to fit a 10" wheel back there.

A 17x10 with 6.5" offset with 275/40/17 fits but its tight i know but fits,maybe tweak the offset alittle might fit 285 or 295 back there and bend the lip up alittle.

Since I have some time until this deployment is over I will be patient and wait to see how the 18s you get fit and go from there. Have you done any work to the wheel wells or lip?
