I got 17x9.5 V45 wheels from Vintage Wheel Works with 275/40/17 tires.
I posted more details on the Chevelle list. Got them on Thursday and
I'm still checking things out. Front seems perfect. Left rear has a
very slight rub on the inner wheelwell. I already massaged it with the
5 lb sledge, but it needs a bit more. Pictures are forthcoming. I'll
see what I can take today.

The conversions that "fix" the suspension geometry are the way to go.
You can really improve the handling as well as braking. I did the swap
without a "kit" since there was no such thing back then. I got the
f-body parts from the junkyard and some other stuff from HO Racing.
This was before Global West had their upper A-Arm. Check with Global

If you plan to go to 17" wheels, consider at least the 12" rotors. My
11" rotors look awful small in the new wheels...
