So my friend had some mustang wheels lying around so I asked if I could stop by and try em on. This is the result.

Close enough for gummint work s2. Stewie was jus' made for that ol' Cragar-style wheel.
Although, I godda tell ya, the view down the flank with the rubber stickin' out inta the wind (kind'a like'a '53 Ford pick-up with the door open) made me cringe rememberin' those +48s that I got conned into.
Okay . . reality check: we already know how smitten I am with the Cragar-style wheels. How'd you think that they looked. (Forget the wrong offset for now, jus' how'd they look to you?)
'Really appreciate you goin' through the trouble to post these s2.
N' as long'z he has . . whudda the rest'a you guys think?
Many thanks s2.
Be well.

There was a guy in Orlando that rolled around in some SN95 GT wheels. Offset aside, they didn't look too bad.

When I imagined it in my head I thought it would look cool my friends thought I was nuts. We put it on and pretty much everyone liked it. I would def consider a wheel like that if the offset was correct. I kinda think it looks mean sticking out like that with 275's. When I buy rims I will prolly be going with something deepdish and I want it to be flush with the quarter.

As long'z you don't fall prey to the heavy-lidded gods of looks n' put on stuff that takes away from Stewie's handlin' n' it's already underdog ability to accelerate.
Never thought it made much sense to look cool while the skinny kids r' kickin' sand in yer face n' you can't do nothin' aboudditt.
The whole deepdish thing works against Stewie's unusually high positive offset. I mean, I really can see it lookin' terrific, but without a wide body kit r' shortenin' the rear axles n' tubbin' it, physically, it jus' doesn't appear to be a dooable thing.
But, I got no problem bein' proven wrong. It's happened on more'n a few occassions n' in cases like this . . I'd actually like to be proven wrong.
But, as much as I think the polished-lip black-spoke deepdish Cragars'd look hot on Stewie . . the li'l guy ain't no Cobra. I think that wheel/tire combination'd be too much for the li'l fella.
But I could kill for a set'a Cragars that fit n' matched the offsets.
Thanks again for goin' through the trouble to set up n' take the flicks s2.
Be well.

Looks ok. . . ignoring the offset. . .but the bigger wheels and tires are going to hurt your acceleration. More rotational mass = bad.
