I like the tires size and fitment, now i just need the filled in look. Lil scared of having to "make" things work. Gap between front fender and tire could be closed up a bit, maybe a 15" would do that?

There are more variables at play then just wheel size , tire size, wheel offset , suspension setup etc all play a role
you can have 14†wheel and tire combo which fills the gap better then 16â€
Based on your comments and perceived knowledge i would highly recommend you spend some time looking at Alvin’s wheel and tires post and take note of the specs of wheel, tire ,springs combo that you like and look for wheels with the same specs

Make sure you look at late cars since yours is a 67.5
Good luck

Re: Not Much Wheel Selection
Wider wheels (negative offset) actually raise the car, if your springs are still in good shape.ahgrafx wrote: Thu Sep 19, 2019 9:42 am I like the tires size and fitment, now i just need the filled in look.

Stancing will require spring work. Shave .200†off of both ends of the spring. And .400 off of the bumpstop. Done.

It’s hard finding 4 bolt on114.3 pattern these days. Plenty 5 bolts though.

With some creativity anything is possible though!
