IMO tall wheels and rubberband tires look ghetto and I think anything taller than 17" ruins the look of a classic car. What's more, it works against any lowering, meaning that you will have to lower more radically and possibly create more wheelwell height to get the same lowness. And then there's the steering clearance to consider!
If you REALLY like the tall stuff and it culturally suits you, it might be better to sell your 57 to someone with classic taste and go get yourself a Hummer

Why even post if that is all you have to say......this isn't the 80's and there is cooler stuff than 17's

We have a 57 belair in the shop right now...It is wearing 20x10 18x7's on air ride

I can tell you for sure that an 18x7 w/4.5 bs will work on the front infact you could probably get by with a 18x8 w/5 bs as far as the rear I am not sure ours has a currie 9in under it that we ordered after we had the wheels because we wanted teh deepest look possible!

And just for arguments sake both tires have a 40 series sidewall which is more than enough rubber for comfortable driving
