This is my thoughts for getting the classic look with the best performance. Take a set of stock steel wheels the ones that take the hub caps and have them widened as much as possible to fit under the stock fenders. But how wide can I go and how much back spacing is required?

Any thoughts? or ideas? Does anyone know of a place in PA or the east coast that widens wheels?
Oh and does anyone have apic of a stocker steelie with a hub capthat the wheel is black and the hubcap ischrome?
