I went the same way with a 'vette frontend. I chose "Wheel Smith" as they had the 'artillery' wheels I wanted. They modify your hubcap to fit their wheels by welding an adapter ring to the cap. Offset was my way to get bigger tires under the 'fat fendered' street rod as I had lots of room to the inside of the wheel. Bigger wheels will get you fender rub if you are not careful. BTW, it ain't cheap. Four wheels plus the mod to the hubcap, beauty rings, powder coating, and shipping equaled $1175.00. That's not counting the $250.00 for new hubcaps plus the rubber.
