Some of you have taken the plunge... put larger diameter wheels and tires on your F, M, or J body car(s). I've seen some pictures on the forum, but they're scattered around in various threads covering myriad subjects. Maybe we can consolidate them here for easy reference.
Doesn't matter if it's your personal ride or not, any F, M, J body with big rollers would be helpful. If it is yours, please provide the specs: wheel/tire size, backspacing, whether you lowered the car or did other suspension work, etc.
I've been looking into some late model Charger "Pursuit" (cop car) wheels. They're 18x7.5 and have 5.25"(+/-) of backspacing. A 1" bolt pattern adapter would net 4.25" of backspacing, which is just about perfect for an M body. Stock tire size is a small-ish 225/60 18.
Ironically, Ford Explorer "Pursuit" wheels look exactly the same, but have the correct bolt pattern (5x114.3), are 8" wide, and mysteriously cost about 200-250% more than the genuine Mopar units... weird.
The Mopar center caps are insanly expensive (for what they are) at $50-$75 ea.
