Would 15x8 rims with 4"b.s. fit on front of 84 cutlass. Want to run 8" rims all the way around 235/60 front and 255/60 rear. I know the rear will fit just wondering about 8" on the front

It depends on car to car. I know 245/60R14's hit the suspension and 215/75R14's rubbed the inner plastic fenders on turns. They are nice rims, definitely a good choice. I would test fit and buy from somewhere with a good return policy. I would also double check on the back as well. My 26 x 10.5-15 ET Streets rubbed on the frame with low air pressure with 1976 factory 15 x 7 SS3 rims which should be near 0 back spacing. The wider rim should spread the the tire across better but might be very close.

Thanks I just really don't want staggard rims even if the tire sizes are different. Going to buy rims on the next eBay sale. I missed yesterday.

I have 15" x 8" ARE rims with 4" BS all the way around on my Regal with 235/60 and 275/60 Cooper tires, no fitment issues on my car.

I have aftermarket chevy rallys with 235/60/15"s front and rear. There is a biit of occasional (OK was, car hasn't run in 4 years) rubbing of the outer tie rods under aggressive cornering.

I have 15x8 Hurst dazzlers with 4"B's saved on eBay. Was waiting on one of the coupon days to order and missed the one a couple days ago. As soon as another coupon pops up they are ordered. I already have my tires bought and waiting.

My dazzlers are 15x7 on the front with 235/60r15 cooper cobras and they rub the inner fenders on hard parking lot turns like full lock turns

There is a 1/4 in difference backspacing between the 7 and the 8 (3.79 vs 4") is there enough room to the outside for the wheel in your thought
