Hello all. I'm knew to this forum and just wanted to type out a brief intro. I own a 1988 Cutlass Supreme "Classic". It's a Brougham with a V-8 307, single exhaust, rally guages, pillow top seats, wire hub caps, steering wheel shifter, and pretty much all stock. My dad bought it new in 1988 and pretty much used it as a commuter car. It currently has around 134k miles. I wish it was a 442, but it seems like Olds didn't make 442's in 1988. Darn! I like the car nonetheless and have plans to make some minor adjustments and uprgrades. I know it currently has 14 inch wheels, but I was curious if anyone here knew if 15x7 wheels (which I think was the stock size wheel for the 87 442's) would fit comfortably on this 1988 or if they would rub against the inner fender/bumper panels? Also, would anyone recommend the installation of a stabalizer bar? Would the installation of dual exhuast make a difference in performance? Any advice is greatly apperciated. Thanks!
 
Factory 15x7's with 4" backspace will bolt up no problem, I run 235x50's on front and 255x50's on the rear, you can go a little bigger if needed.
I highly recommend a sway bar, the F41 or even the stock one is good enough for light driving, I've got both available if interested.
Any exhaust upgrade will free things up but keep in mind it's a 307 so you may not noice any difference, sometimes all you need to do is change the CAT since they clog up over time.
