    We have a 1977 Buick Electra 2-door that we are considering a set of 17x8 or 17x9 Torque Thrust or Cragar wheel for. Has anyone put larger wheels like that on their 77 or 78 Electra? I would love to see pics!

    Just thought that I would post an update on the car. We decided to go with the Cragar Eliminator 500's in a 17x8 size in the gray color. To maintain the OEM tire height we went with 245/55-17 tires. Here are a few pics, although we still need to get the rear bumper on the car.
