Good info, thank you.

If you enjoy doing that kind of work and a heavier frame is your objective OK I guess. But my question would still be, why would you go to all that effort if all you have is surface rust on the frame? As long as I've had my two old cars the frames have always been cupped front and back from PO...

Couldn't agree more. Have left the drums on both my old rides with no issues. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I agree with the above post. In terms of looks my own view is lower is not better since my preference is staying close to factory specs. I wouldn't go any less than the 70s but if your looking for that lowered boy racer look of the 60s profile, go for it. In the end, if the car looks good to you...

I recall shopping for tires for my Polara and Monaco and 235/75/15 tires had a heavy duty rating when compared to smaller tires. I have that size with white side lines on both my cars for the factory look.

Not sure if this helps but a similar (but not the same) wheel....

Nice score on the rims. I put a set of turbines on the Monaco. I've since changed to Road Wheels. I might change again to Magnum 500s. Be sure to post pics once they are on the car. This will give you a bit of a preview of what to expect.

The wheel will look great but IMHO don't go to 18".

Ok you've got my attention. What's the story?

I've heard of those things before but was always too sceptical to try one. With your fine tutorial I'm now a convert. :thumbsup:

The wheels look to be in good shape. New tires likely accounts for the price being at the high end. The tire size is less than ideal for our applications.

The price varies but I've seen them in similar condition at swap meets for as little as $25/per without rings & centres. If you clean them up and paint them I'd say at least double that. My .02.

Stiff wire brush on angle grinders should clean up the back side of those nicely.

Seems a bit too modern for your model IMHO but hey if it turns your crank...

235 vs 225 is a matter of preference. As mention I believe 235 has higher weight rating. I have 235s on both mine.

235/75/15 with 1" white stripes is on both my cars. As stated you can't go wrong with these HD tires if you are seeking a nice stock look. They run beautifully on the road.

Good idea. Proves the old saying necessity is the mother of invention.

Very nice. Good choice.
