New rims on my Cutlass (You're gonna hate this!)

[CuttySupreme1984]

ugh. take a gbody and make it useless.

they sell suv's still you know right?

In a side note, minus the giant LOOK AT ME wheels, your car is pretty nice.

Trust me, half of me is asking myself what that hell I'm doing lol. Each dollar I hand over to make these rims fit kinda makes me sick. I love restored classic cars but part of me loves customizing them. I think a lot of people prefer this look though, atleast around here. Before I put the rims on I got maybe 1 comment on my car every 3-4 months. But in the last 2 days I've had almost 10 offers from people wanting to buy it and atleast 20 comments from people just saying how good it looks.

I really don't dislike those, they're one of the better ones I've seen.
these are the ones I hate

(the chrome version of those)
the ones that are all filled in the middle, they're friggin ugly

And IMO it'd look so much better if you could find a way to use the old rally center caps

dont get me wrong, the wheels are nice. the style anyways, for a cruiser, not a hotrod, so if your not planning on pounding on it, that style of wheel works, however, the size of the wheels is a bit of a reach.

those in a 16'' would have looked really sharp with the color you have on the car.

I was actually looking into 17" with vogues tires for an older style look but I got ahold of these 22's for an insanely low price. Long story short: kid gets locked up, mom sells all his stuff lol.

Yea I never really planned on making it a hotrod. Although the owner of the shop has a '69 Olds 350 that he is planning on putting in it soon. Still not really a hotrod but it will definitely help turn those 22's easier. But the V6 isn't handling them too terribly.

Thoses 30 series tires are to tall. You need to go with a 25 series. how wide is your rims 9.5 or 8.5

Not too sure...the most common I see is 255/35/22. I currently have 285/30/22s so I figured switching to 255/30/22 would help. So I should go down to 25 series?

you shouldn't have any problems with a 25 series. they will cost a little more thought.

I was on the fence of either making my cuttie a pro touring car or a donk, but after seeing your ride. It made up my mind, looks like I will be donking it. Sweet ride Bro

Thanks. And it's not like you have to ruin the car to get it like that. The way I'm going about it is completely reversible. Everybody keeps telling me to cut the fender, notch the frame, etc. But if you go through www.universalcarlifts.com they have real lift parts that bolt right on.
