Not at all, as long as they are on a truck or SUV, I'm with forddude on this one, just guess I was thinking out loud. Yeah, I'm one of THOSE GUYS.....YOU can put on YOUR car anything YOU like and that's all that matters. Like you said, the big azz wheels got popular in 1995, hell that's only THIRTY FRIGGIN YEARS AFTER THIS CAR HIT THE ROAD, it just seems out of wack to me, putting big azz wheels on a 60s car is like putting a set of Crager S/S on an otherwise stock Model A, but I'm pretty thick headed at times so pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Just don't be insulted and surprised when you pull into a show or a cruise night and they make you park over with the ricers.

P.S. Why stop there, you can really slam it so that when you run over a golf ball sized stone in the road you can take out your oil pan, that's so neat. Or better yet you can put a grand finishing touch on them big azz wheels by installing those spinners that keep going around when the car stops...them things are waaaaay cool. I'm not trying to start a war here, I'm off my meds and trying to have a little fun with this.
