Sharp car. The 442 had a lot of great upgrades over a regular Cutlass. 3.73 8.5 rear being the most noteable but also stiffer springs & sway bars, quicker steering & the 15x7s wheels come to mind. Most people prefer the looks of white letters on them. A lot of people run 235/60/15s up front as its the stock height only slightly wider and many run 255/60/15s in the rear for a little more beef while still working well on the 7" wheel. The other links listed are helpfull. Have fun. Oh yea check out my pics if you want to see a slightly modified version of your car. :wink:

That car looks like you just pulled it from a time machine. Sure don't look 24 years old. Nice!

Damn...
:respect:
How much did you pay for that, if you don't mind me asking.
Also, that's one clean as ride. One day my Cutty will look like that too. One day.

Wow thats an odd size never seen anybody run those before. Not a bad size just taller than stock. 215/65/15 is the stock size fwiw. Any planned upgrades?

I had to run out in the garage and see if my car had been taken. Our cars look identical. I have the full service manual if you have something specific you need referenced. How many miles does your car have on it?
