Looks, fuel economy, performance/handling, i've found 15x7's and 245/65R15 Beefy Goodrich T/A's or Firestone Firehawks work very well on B-bodies. i may be a little out of date, but i've had great success with that combo and 15x7's are easy to find in anything from stock police rims to American Racing chromies or mags, even old-school torq-thrust. Clearance was never an issue with 15's and low-profiles.

Or!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! slap on a big set of meats,sure grip and a nasty 440 and then go buy a Toyota or Honda for fuel economy :rolling:
