1986 Cutlass Salon Thread: New Wheel Pics (8/31/09)

[KCEE442]

Verrrry nice Cutlass
Great starting point
and once those raised whites are on gonna look mean esp with the bigger tires.

With the a/c delete you got rid of the heat too right?

and with the removal of the smog, on the heads you left the 4 prongs that come out, so you prob have an exhaust leak, put in some1/4 brass plugs with some anit-seize and your all set and it cleans it up real nice

Ilike it!

i dont think that 255's will fit in the back I have 245's now and they are very close to touching you may need to put wheel spacers if you want to fit 255-60-15 in the back I went a touck smaller 235 60 because the 245 's that I have are so close

sorry I don't have a better picture - due to some *ss stealing it, but a totally stock low mile G-body 255-60-15s on Malibu or S-10 (???) rims - hey they were on the car when I bought it - I was gonna replace them. Fronts were some funky size like a 235-45-15

I have 255/60/R15 on the back of my 442 on the stock 15x7 rims.
They fit fine with no clearance issues or modifications.

My fronts are 235/60R15, but I plan on switching back to the stock size up front when it's new tire time.

11/30/08 -new cutlass plate, tune up, air cleaner, removed a/c and AIR pump, new water pump, radiator, rebuilt carb, a/c delete panel, few new gaskets, fuel pump, egr valve and next up transmission and brakes

Have you removed the A.I.R. tubes completely or did you just leave them pinched off? I see you hosed clamped a vacuum line to the passenger side tube right about the valve ... were does it leave? Do you not have an exhaust leak?

whoops my eyes are playing tricks on me ...that vacuum hose is running to something else. Still no exhaust leak with the tubes just pinched off?

 

[86CutlassUCF]

no exhaust leak but i do plan on taking that all out and using some brass plugs soon.

 

[86CutlassUCF]
