What's the best suspension setup for the '80 D50 Sport?

What - no pink?!? lol. I am considering going to 17 or 18" wheels if I can find a set that isn't 2K and fits the way I need them to be. Thanks for the comps on Geronimo - it took 20 years before Pittsburgh found it to be cool. BTW 22 yrs and still in great shape - the paint that is.

HAHA, yeah no pink for me, mostly Yellow/Black with some touches of red is what I have in mind. I have a feeling that this thing is going to be 20 years in the making for me as well the way things are going lol.

First, I found these rims which I was liking the idea of not going with a low profile tire. They are a 15x8 rim and extreemly inexpensive.

The only problem I have is that these would only be an inch bigger than stock, and I don't think I'll be satisfied with that in the long run. On the other side of the coin though, I do like the design. I would save tons of money on new wheels, and could purchase cheap center caps and paint them whatever color.

I found these wheels, they are 17x8, and I was thinking these with a 50 series tire. My biggest concern is if that is too much tire.

The biggest difference between the two is 2" and the 17's are double the price.

Thoughts?
