Getting New Wheels - Opinions on this combo choice...

Need a tire, so taking the step of replacing the stock rims on my gold 95 Roadmaster Wagon with aftermarket rims.

I am looking at the American Racing VN504's. Consulting with the salesman, he thought to go 17x8 rims, and use a 235/60/17 tire. I am looking for a clean retro look, but a little more aggressive looking, with a bit of a wider stance, but nothing crazy.

Opinions about that setup? Pros/cons or a better idea on sizes etc...? THANKS!!

I had seen this pic online awhile back, and it is kind of the look I am going for. I have always liked the Torq Thrusts in the pic here, and have had them on 3 cars now, but I feel these VN504s are less common, and will be easier to keep clean.

Looks Mean!

Front license plates really suck.

We always called those "Coke bottles."

Because of the shape of the individual spoke?

These speak to me on a couple levels...retro style with a contemporary look, but easier to keep clean than a Torq Thrust, and the cap set up looks neater than the screw on caps of the Torqs.

Looking around, leaning to the 17" x 8" wheel with 50s perhaps.

Make sure the offset is about a 6. The 8 inch wheels will allow the tires to bulge at the sidewall. You can probably use 255/50s without hitting anything if you stay with the stock offset for the wheels. It will give you a more aggressive look, and a slightly wider looking stance.

Did em up today...17x8, 60s. THANKS for your help!

Looking good!
