18” American Racing Draft Wheels

I Decided to put my 18” Americans on my 88 to change up the look. I’ll still use my Weld Beadlocks and skinnies for the strip.
What size rims and tires?

I've been looking at those for months...…..and a bunch of others. Those are the only wheels that I have given serious consideration to. Look great on your car.

Thank you. I had also looked at these wheels for quite a while but never saw any on a gbody. I’m certainly not the first but I just couldn’t find anyone who had them on anything besides a Camaro or Chevelle. For the style and price, I figured I couldn’t go wrong.
 
Love your Cutlass. The wheels are nice. Been considering them myself. You got the Gray ones?
 
Thank you 👍🏼.
Yes, I ordered the ones with the gray centers. They call them silver but they’re definitely more on the gray side which is what I was after.

They’re a great quality wheel especially for the price.

Thanks,

Hello, i was wondering if your car was lowered. If so what did you do and how much. I'm working on a 83 Hurst and was going to do a spindle drop on from with lowering 2" lowering springs in rear. Thanks

The car has the original F-41 450lb front springs, stock spindles and the rear has the Moroso “Trick” springs. I unfortunately just have a lot of weight up front which makes it sit a little lower. The rear might be about 1” lower than stock but I never measured the difference between stock and the Moroso rears.
