Largest wheel and tire

[lilbowtie]

Thats an 8.2 rear which is wider.

Steve thought the same thing. Actually, it's a '85 H/O 8.5" with an 8.2 cover on it.

Same as what you want 17x8 245/45/R17

Test fitted some 295/50-15 rears on 15x10 Western Wheel Turbines on my Cutlass today. Seemed to have plenty of clearance all around ever with plenty of weight in the trunk and sagging factory V6 springs. Picked up the set of 4 for $100 with old tires. I'll try to post some pics of my test fit on here. I'll definitely post more pics when I get the new tires and mount them permanently. It's a pretty short tire (26.6 inches) but wide. I think it's 4" backspacing.

I believe plenty of Grand National boys are running 295/50-16 on 16x10 Turbines on stock setups (which should be the same size as my tire in the pic but an inch taller).

I think the recommendation is between 3-4 inches of backspacing.

I'm running 305 30 20s on my GN. They are without a doubt the widest wheels (11" of tread) I could put on my car and fit inside the wheel well. I do get some minor contact both on the inside and outside under some road conditions, like going up driveways or dips on the highway.

Since they're new and I'm shameless about pics...here is my setup.
17x7 front with 225/50/17 Nitto (17x8 with 245/45 should fit perfect)

17x8 rear with 4-1/2" BS and 255/45/17 Nitto's. I believe the repro SS wheels have less backspace which would be fine. View attachment 105286 View attachment 105287

A picture is worth a thousand words.

That looks really nice. They look like Mach 1 rims, which are probably based off of something else anyways. Looks great, especially the black with machined face on the gray car.
