    Well, like I said, I don't like the big wheels, particularly on old cars. I don't really have a classification for what it will be, but I'm sure someone will. I'll do the stock wheels for now, but I have been thinking some 15" Dayton wires would look good. I don't see that difference changing the car that much, not as much as if I were to pull the torq thrusts off my 55 and put stock caps on it.
    I guess what I'm saying is the wheels are subjective to the car. You can't totally create or totally destroy a look with wheels alone, but you certainly can enhance it one way or the other.
    You never know, if the huge wheels existed back in the day, guys might have been running them on cruisers and whatnot.

    Thanks?

    You've got me all confused as to whether you're serious or not. :D

    I think it will look good. I hope other people like it, but if they don't, I'm not going to change it to suit anyone.
    Since it's not HAMB friendly, I have a sort of build thread going here:

    Caddyman I have 22's on my 06 300 its also on air and like you said the over all size are no bigger than my stock 17" wheel and tire.. I made no mods to the wheel wells it turns fine I ride about 3" lower then stock.. I know there way different cars but with the big wheel wells on that caddy as long as you don't do a drastic wheel tire size change I bet you wont have any issues as long as you don't ride to low..if you want that car to lay frame then were talking C notching and a 4 link in the rear but that some serous work
