I had these wheels on mine, 18x8 front, 18x9.5 rear I think 4" bs front 4.5" bs rear. Early Classic airbags on rear. Whenever I would turn into a driveway and go through a little dip, the rears would rub on the wheeltubs due to body lean. I recently put rallys back on. Do like the look of the biggies, though. The thing to remember for 71-72s if you are doing bigs and littles is to have rear wheels with 1 inch more frontspace than the fronts so they will fill out the wheelwells the same amount.
