It has to be done right or it makes the car look like it's in two different generations. It's not necessarily just the larger wheel diameter, but something about the low profile tires on an older vehicle just confuses the period correct look.
THANK YOU supersignman, not only did you photoshop on a 930, but OUR 930! You rock!!

So, I’m thinking maybe 16” would be better to achieve the look (with a taller sidewall) vs the 17”. How does the consensus weigh in on the look?

I have 17’s on it now with Speedlines and it looks good.

I’m not “as concerned” with the weight as the Coddington’s are alum and not steel. “Steelies” is just the name we are all used to.

Thanks again! I’ll keep y’all posted.
