Putting "old school, deep dished" wheels on that car will be a bit of a challenge. The suspension geometry and wheel wells were set up around positive offset wheels, so deep dish wheels will stick out too far, and put the tires in contact with the body work. On the practical side, you might be able to go with a wheel that's an inch, or so, wider in the front, and an inch and a half-two inches in the rear, but that's pretty much it.....

These are about as deep dish as you can go with a stock rear end. Cheapest too.
