Had to grind the calipers a couple of mms, but I got some Beretta GT wheels to fit with some 215 tire.
I plan on painting them black to kind of disguise the 15" size of the wheels. Plus black on white is kind of 'tough.'
Note the offset's effect on the tire in relation to the wheel well. It's nice and meaty.

Nice looking GT! I like those wheels on there, kind of old school. I think they would look really sweet if you polished the lip on them and painted the centers gold. Just a thought. What offset are they? They look really low like 40 or maybe just a little higher.
Nice wagon though, any other plans for it?

Looking good! I'm glad to see someone else rocking the BGT wheels.
If you get some steel wool and some carb cleaner the aluminum lips shine up pretty well. I'd also say that there is no need to paint the wheels to hide the size, just get that big body a little lower and you'll fill out the wheel well better:

I didn't bother shaving my calipers; I just bolted those things on and let the calipers shave the bumpy spot where the weld ended on the wheels after rolling a few feet ;)
Wow, that's a classic look on that Leg :shock:
