I am relatively new to the TurboBUick site. I just purchased a 1987 GN this past week end and would like help/assistance regarding wheels and tires. The car currently has 11,000 miles on it and I am putting the wheels and tires away.

I am looking for 17 x 8 wheels and want to know what size tire I can purchase that will not have any fitment issues with rubbing or turning. I dont want to get real crazy, just need a bit more traction than I now have.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Les/Ohio

PS..If the 17x8 wheels are not the best choice, then any info or direction would also be appreciated !
 
Les,

I have my 87 Turbo T set up with Simmons wheels, 17x8.5s in the front, and 17x9s in the back. I'm running 245/455/17s in the front and 255/45/17s in the back with no rubbing problems at all. The backspacing is 4.32 inches on the fronts and 4.75 inches on the back. The wheels/tires fit very good. I hope this helps you out and good luck with your wheel search.
