[510TURBO]

thinking of buying some 19x9.5 rims all four with 35+mm offset will these rims fit a 87 T and if yes with what size tires? thanks in advance

You will have a tough time getting 9.5" wheels to fit in the rear. YOu will have to do some trimming to have a chance. Let us know how it goes.

Don't know about 19x9.5 but here are my 19x8.5(245/35) and 19x10(305/30).The car is lowered and i dont have any rubbing issues.

1-CLN-GN,
Sharp Car!!! Did you shave the frame rails or trin the wheel opening trim? Are you running the stock spindle or B-Car spindle? What offset/BS are you running front and rear. Other mods to run the 10" in rear? Where are you located?

To answer your question "Will 19" rims work"? answer - YES! No problem!

Tire size? Not to sure you may ask Eric (xcessiv) here on the board. That's what he used to do and he's good.. I think you could get away with a 285/35-19 (rear) and a 245/30-19 (front) but I would look on the link below and see what others are running.

Not sure on the 35mm offset but I know a backspacing of 4.75 will work fine.


I'm running 18 X 9.5" rims up front and a 18 X 10 in back, BOTH have 4.74" backspacing and NO TRIMMING OF ANYTHING! Bolt and Go!

Might try looking here and see what wheel & tire combos are working for others.. (See my combo there too)

Thanks for the compliments Hot Air.The frame was notched to get them to tuck how i wanted and it still has the stock spindle.Sorry i can't help you out on the offset.Here are a couple more pics.

How much did you get cut off the frame?

[1-CLN-GN]

A little less than half the size of the frame.Almost an inch maybe

I have 19x8 in the front 255 and 19x10 rear 285... No cutting or rubbing. Aren't u in Hayward? U should go down to the rim shop on S. Winton ave I can't think of the name right now but when driving south it will be on your left hand side one light after Hesperian. Ask for Ken 510-783-8383 I get all my rims from him he good people.

I'm luv'n how that white is lookin on them rims... I think I'm go do a 86 GN and paint it white but I'm not going to do as many mods so I'll feel more comfortable parking it when I'm in it.
