OFFICIAL: wheel/tire picture thread... show em off!

I would have to measure but I think so. I plan on stepping up to 295's once the 285's are cooked. That way the tires will be the same height front and rear.

 

[COOPER12]

would 8 1/2" vectors work on the front too? if so what size tires would everyone use all around?
would the fronts rub?

Looks a little funny with no engine but o well. 15 by10 on rear with 26 by 12 m/t and 15by8 on front.

LIL6cyl, Love the look!

Is that at stock ride height?

Nevermind, I went back a page and see that you have a 2" drop spring.

 

[COOPER12]

I run 245x60-15's on my 87, and they fit and wear just fine. Maybe just a little rubbing on the inner fenders when steering into the locks.

 

[dragrazor]

I have 235/60's. They rub a little on full lock

As seen in other posts here;
The set up on my 86 GN;

F- Boss 338- 20x8.5 w/ 5.25 BS and 7/16 wheel spacer, 245/35-20

R- Boss 338- 20x10 w/ 6.25 BS and 1" adapter, 275/30-20

F- Bell Tech spindles, and Moog 5658s w/ KYBs
R- Moog 5385s w/ a coil removed, KYBs, and rear disc conversion (thus the high BS wheels)

How do you keep your tire from rubbing a hole in the back of your fender well when you turn?

Vectors on the rear? G-body parts sells adapters so you can use a stock Buick center cap.
