87 Cutlass Supreme

[gharris79]

I picked up a 87 Cutlass Supreme Brougham T-Top last week. Now to make it my own. I got it off the original owner who ordered it in. It's showing 38,000kms, hasn't been winter driven, been in a barn for 15 years and is rust free.
First thing I'm doing is lowering the back cause I find it to be to high. Then I'm putting a set of 15" Ralley's off a 83 Hurst with Radial TA's. I need to figure out a tire size to run on these wheels. Was thinking 235/60's. Thought's?

Great looking car , and a great work space too .

Back to tires oh yeah the 235 / 60 R15 , i believe to be the best fit. You may have to search around due to your location and let's face it not too manufacture's making a 15 " tire in today's world. Check out the Cooper GT's . When you order them ( or something else ) educate yourself on the date codes on tires , a supplier may try to ship you tires that are years old and could be past their prime .

Thanks for the input Dave. I picked up a set of stock coils on Friday at Napa so hopefully the back goes where I want it. I checked around for tires and it seems that 235's are the most common size available in 15".

235's In my opinion should have been the correct size for these cars with 15" wheels. They fit well no rubbing issues front or back look good, not to small of a sidewall etc. car looks nice, same color combination as my Dad's 87 he had. TireRack has the BFGoodrich TA's for $116 each, not sure of shipping into Canada, just for comparison.
