I thought it was decided above that they would fit? That pic Scoob posted looks real good.

I'd put some standard 18'' or 20'' wheels with rubberbands on that!

yeah but i got this concours model and there are a few differences. i got 16's on it now and theres not a lot of space between the inside of the wheel and the caliper. i dont know if i have the same brakes as a regular deville or not. i would hate to order a set of wheels that dont fit. i think im gonna just get my in-dash gps first and wait a few months on the wheels. it will give me more time to be sure cuz i would also hate to buy the 18's and find out later that the 14's fit after all

The Pic I posted is also a concourse. To run 14x7 STANDARDS (reversed dont work) you have to grind the calipers down. Get a set put them on and go show off to the tire shop dont tell them how easy it was make them wonder.

you wont be voiding the warranty, if you grind the calipers nice and paint them black

Sounds simple, just time consuming. Would be well worth it.
