Re: 1967 buick special wagon

So I took my first test drive to the gas station to put fresh fuel in it. There's no windshield yet, so it was a little windy. I went back home and got some better glasses to do a proper test drive. I heard scraping when I hit deep bumps and thought it was hitting the fender. Turns out the lower control arm scrubs on the inner lip of the rear tire. The rear tires have too much offset. So now I have to pick different rims.

Option 1. Buy a pair of front c6 wheels and paint them to match

Option 2. Go with the c5 chrome wheels I picked out first. (Not really liking the way they look after seeing the bronze wheels)

Option 3. Paint and polish up the original g8gt wheels (I have 8 of them) I kinda like that they look like hot wheels car wheels.

I'm open to any and all suggestions

Josh
