Need help choosing a set of wheel and tires for my 71 2800CS without using spacers or rolling the fenders ( nice looking) Thanks
 
Are you curious about the size, the style, or both. Also, state your budget as one can expect to pay anywhere between $300 and $2000 for nice looking wheels, and more if you are looking for something rare or restored to a high degree. I think that Monterey 2016 confirmed that Alpina style wheels are the most popular. Three piece BBS RS are desireable, followed by one piece BBS, and other one piece mesh wheels.

I'll post up the styles and the price range if you are interested. You can't go wrong with 7" wheels and 8" in the rear are a common upgrade. Offset is important...
 
I'm down in Houston and have a set of 14" Alpina looking wheels and good tires. I took them off my 2800CS when I went to staggered Alpinas and I would love to send them on to a loving home here in TX :)

I've attached a picture showing one of the wheels with tire - showing tire size.

Cheers
James
