Default Wheel and rim selection

Hey guys

I recently purchased an 82 monte carlo with the 267v8 as my first project vehicle. I am currently looking at purchasing these rims for it and was wondering the following,





1: Do you think the size of the rim and offset would be suitable for stock suspension set up?

2: What tire sizes would you recommend for these rims?

Thank you.

If I remember stock backspace is between 3 and 4 inches. Best to measure what the clearance is with what you have now and then remove the wheel and measure the backspace.
