Personally, I love em! Velocity Wheels u2 55's 20x8.5... 245/35r20... They ride great, and they turn a few heads. It's a beautiful day today. Going cruising!
What do you all think?

HELLS YES.
Needs to be dropped in the front, though.

It needs to be dropped all the way around. It looks a llittle funny sitting that high on those rims.

lol! More than a couple weeks lunch money! A little over budget on this project, but the "secretary of finance" loves the new look. So I'm still sleeping in the house at this point...
"It needs to be dropped all the way around. It looks a little funny sitting that high on those rims."
I agree. Gonna start with a set of SS springs. See if it closes it up a bit. We'll see if the 1.5 inch drop that they are supposed to provide are enough.
Overall I'm a happy camper. Been fun "cruising" all day. Many compliments, and raised eyebrows. I just can't stop looking at it. Even the stainless seems brighter!!!

If you add SS springs, do yourself a favor and cut a coil off the fronts first. With the wagon's extra weight out back, the front doesn't drop without cutting the SS springs. Really.

Funny, that is the same thing my brother was saying! I just haven't done it yet. I will have them off soon. Garage is a mess. Got to clean a space for them to hang from the ceiling!

Listen to him...... I put Impala SS springs in the front of mine and it raised the car over my saggy stock springs. Higher spring rate and lighter front end, as the weight is cantilevered off the front with the extra mass past the rear axle.
