If I have the money after the 'necessities' on the car I'm thinking about bolting in an A-Body rear (8.5 G-Body is outta the budget, plus I can get a complete 10-bolt A-Body assy. fairly cheap locally). The wheels on it are 15x7 American Racing Outlaw wheels (riveted look w/o holes). I'm not sure of the backspacing, but it's most likely G-Body stock because the guy I bought them from way back when said he had them on his G-Body Monte (poet? :lol:). Anyway, I'm not planning for anything really wide, right now they have 235/70s on them (tires themselves were on a previous vehicle), but when it comes time for new tires I was thinking of 245/60 if possible, if not that I'll probably go with 225/70, though the 245s are preferable. Anyone have any pointers? I believe the fender lip is pretty rusty, so I don't think rolling it would be an option (more like grinding :p). Any help is gravy 8)

225/70's will look bad on the rear of your 'Bu.....from the rear.
