| I can't state strongly enough how much better your car looks right now than the green one on the right... It's your car, but please tread lightly and do "tasteful" mods.
A wood-delete black Roady with an LT1 is a "holy grail" car for some of us.

| His is DCM, even cooler.
Personally, I'm not a fan of those. You'd have to find them for sale and find the backspacing and offset on the wheels you're looking at. Then we can tell you if they fit.
Also for reference, your bolt pattern is 5 on 5, or 5x127mm. |

| I would never do anything to a wagon that altered it's originality, so neither should you.
That aside, this America (for most of us). Get the rims and set it on the ground dude. | |

| I'd pass on those rims. Get yourself some 5 spokes- black with chrome lip.
And what is a rag roof? (Dont tell me you want to vinyl roof a wagon) | |

| the red on the back pillars dosn't match upwith the red on the door at the top other than that it looks decent.
wonder how that rag top hold up in pa if you dont have garage and it snowed alot not to mention what a sudden hail storm would do | |

| There was a good reason that the term:"California custom" came into the vernacular fiddy years ago. They have no bad weather. | |

| That top would never stand up to inclement weather.
And if it snows the top would probably cave in or start sagging. it would suck in winter - all your heat would go out the roof
Not to mention the cost

| Taken straight from the ad:
THIS IS THE PRICE FOR A SET OF 22 INCH RIMS ( 22X9.5 /5X4.75 / +10 OFFSET )
As mentioned, you need the 5X5 pattern | |

| nope- el caminos and camaros are 4.75x5
you'd need rims that fit RWD cadillacs, full size 77-96 RWD chevy/ buick/ olds/ pontiac station wagons, full size chevy/ GMC trucks/ vans (silverado, suburban, sierra, etc) and astro/ safari vans. | |

| Spacers or adapters. They can cost as much as the wheels themselves. | |

| You can also find them with the correct bolt pattern. They make them. Again, you want 5x5 or 5x127mm |

| There you go. Getting closer. They don't list the offset or backspacing of those wheels, though. Send them an email and find out what those values are.
I encourage you to look for 20s rather than 22s, though. It will be easier (and probably cheaper) to find tires, plus you can keep more sidewall and retain some of the nicer ride. |
