Welcome to the site! Sounds like nice rides, but before you get heckled to death, your two rides are classified as C bodies, not G bodies, but i'm sure you will find some help here just the same, again WELOCME! And pictures!?

Welcome to the site but your big girls are B's not G's. We still have love for them here as other members own their own B's. But we have a sister site specific to the B-body, https://bbodyforum.com/, so stop over there as someone over there may have the info you need for the big rollers. Don't be a stranger & keep visiting, we may even talk you into adding an actual G to the fleet.
EDIT: saw the post before mine & forgot about the C-bodies. Since your generation is very close to the B-body they should still be able help.

Welcome, while those cars are big, I find them better built with less rot issues than the G bodies. I owned a 81 Delta 88 4 door for years. I put over 400,000 km on that car. My parents bought that car $500 from the original owner, a ton of basic maintenance receipts, no really major work. Are you talking like 24 or 26 inch rims? I would think a 30" total tire would fit. The wheel skirts will make putting a wider tire in more difficult.

Well im looking for the largest that will fit, my guess would be 24" but not sure if the front wheels would catch the fender in a turn, if the skirt is in the way i could unclip it or do some home body work, its not what anybody wants to here but im doing sort of a joke build, big rims, air bags, chain steering wheel, tint, fuzy dash an lots more haha just gonna have fun with it.

That was rude dude! I kind of like the look of a B body with big wheels.
