Greetings and Happy Holidays to all.
I Live in Cleveland, Ohio and I was wondering if anyone knows of a place here in Cleveland/Ohio or a website where I can find the following accessories or approximate prices for my 85 Fleetwood.
1. Rolls Royce style Grill (I saw another Fleetwood with that particular grill and loved it).
2. New wood kit (the current wood on dashboard and doors is fake and tacky looking).
3. Leather/Wood steering wheel (I would like to replace current steering wheel)
Here's a few pics of my Caddy to give you an idea. Also would 20's be to big to go on this car?

I'm hoping to have these few modifications completed by the Summer of 05
Thanks
I have seen most of those items (minus the steering wheel) on ebay. I think 20 inch wheels would be too big, your tires would be nothing but rubber bands and just asking to bend a wheel on a pothole. Some 16 or 17 inch wire wheels with vogues would look great IMO. Goodluck and congratulations!

I think that would look slick. I am sticking with the stock 15" though.
ahh, if you wanna go with 20s go with em. there are a lot of haters on this site that dont like big wheels. you can fit 22s under it maybe 23s but i doubt it. if you wanna roll like the Dirty South does you can jack it up and cram some 24s. thats not really my style though. hey, you can never go wrong with a set of 13s and a few hydraulic pumps. for the grill go to www.egclassic.com but for the other two im not sure. hope this helps.

I've seen 22s on that body style, they're a bit too big I think. Some nice 20s would look good and there would still be plenty of tire.
yeah, 22s are a bit big for that body style. i seen 23s on a Fleetwood like mine. i talked to the guy about them and he said that 23s fit on the 93-96 Fleets perfectly (well without altering the suspension god awful like 24s).

Again thanks for the advice, I think I will stick with 20's, since they are big enough, I don't need to go any bigger than that. I checked out the site, those grills are nice, but I just like that Rolls Royce Grill someone else on here had, I'll have to find that pic and PM them.
Oh and another thing, will I have to upgrade and get bigger brakes since I'm getting bigger tires? If so, what is the cost for the upgrade?
Again, Thanks.
it would be a good thing to get a brake upgrade but i dont know how much it would cost. i dont know where you could get it done either.
