Great information, car looks good. What kind, size, offset wheels and tires are you using?

The wheels did fit, they had a chamfer that cleared with no problems. How did you handle lug nuts? Did you find spline type 1/2" LH lug nuts. I have not had any luck finding anything that will work. Appreciate any help I can get.

Yes, I had a bit of trouble finding splined lug nuts that would work. I think I ended up finding them on Amazon

Since you’ve modernized the powertrain, why not the brakes. There are companies selling alum Buick fins over disc. They’re pricey ($1600) or machine it yourself. I do agree they are sexy. Thanks for posting and good luck.

Only for the simple fact that I love the look, and these cars had excellent braking from the factory. There have been a great number of folks that have actually lost braking ability by switching to discs as told on the AACA forums. However, if the drums don't cut it I am not opposed to upgrading. Thanks for the comment!

I found the info on your wheels, in an earlier post. I have a 63 Riviera and would like to get the same ones. Who did you get them from? What I find online the wheel center bore is not big enough. The car requires 3.43” and the ones I found are only 3.08” (Summit Racing). Did you machine them or use a wheel spacer? I am hoping you found a supplier with a bigger selection. Thx! BTW awesome sheet metal work!!!

mine fit with no issues, I purchased them direct from Holley as they were the only ones with inventory at the time.
