    i would think at least 18" on a car that big for the filled-out look... 20" would look great. and there should be a bunch of 5x5 wheels available, bc so many full sizers from the 60s until the 90s had them. B-Bodys like the Roadmasters and Impala SS's have them. I've been looking for a certain style in particular for my Roadmaster but it is pretty frustrating looking for specific wheel sizes.

    the "Faithful Pursuit" Electra has maybe 18"s? and from the side view they look small on this car.. it is SO sweet sounding!

    Yeah, thats what I'm thinking too. I saw a 69 Electra on cardomain.com with 24" wheels and it looks awesome. I think the 24's are too big, so that's what has be thinking about the 20's. They should fill it out nice.

    That 72 Riv. in Japan is one sick ride! I like how low it is and you are right, those wheels look great! I also like how everything was blacked out in the front...

    I can't wait to get mine done now....

    I think you could fit some 20's under there without too much trouble at all. There's a reason people put 24's on Buicks. The wheel-wells are huge! I think 20's would look nice, if you start putting anything bigger than that on, I think it kind of takes away from the car.
