Unproductive sunday so I tried out some wheels my dad has laying around. 14" Chrome reverses from the 80's.

I like it alot, kinda small and definitely need some wider tires. Maybe 245 front and 275 rear or so on. Those on it are 215/75.
My goal would be to make this car look less like a grandpa car, and more like a street rod or whatever.
As they are reverse steelies, the fitment is alot nicer vs stock steelies, fronts are good and better with a wider tire, rears could use an even wider tire and spacer (which I do have).
Needs lowering springs either way.

Also had to try on the 14" Mercury hubcaps I have.

Yeah that's a hard pass for me![bleh](https://www.grandmarq.net/vb/core/images/smilies/bleh.gif)
There's also the 18s my dad "temporarily" has on his Tbird, those would have the same bolt pattern as well. I don't think I'll even try them on, dangerously approaching donk territory with those.
