Cutlass Fitment

[edmck82]

I had a GM High Tech Performance catalog with an awesome set of T-Type/Grand Nationals featured.

Both guys used Simmons F Series wheels. I went over the Group A Auto site and noticed that they sell these wheels in 17"-19". So my big question is fitment?
The Group A site has a ton of GN's and Monte's with Simmons Wheels mounted.

I e-mailed a rep at Group A and I imagine backspacing (which I'm clueless about) would come into question. Tire size ?

I love the look of the SSII's but have a soft spot for this style wheel. Also I'm not a huge fan of chrome.


I know it might be blasphemous to reference my Lincoln on a G-Body site but this is the style I dig. I went with a 17X10.5 and for this application it worked extremely well.

BTW if you want to take a look at the full build of my car .

So fitment ? , Wheel / Tire size? . Figured I would poll the masses before I went through with it.

Heres the article and retailer for Simmons :

I'm %99 sure that the car in that arcticle is the same one I saw at the world of wheels a couple of years ago. See post

Thats the one ! Group A fitted the shoes for that car, and according to your pics thats the right tire size. Great looking car.
