Oversized Rims and tires

[87LS/88SS]

I already had the rims just trying to see if they would work with minimal mods, what's the biggest that would fit though

If you want to stay at stock height your first mistake was purchasing wheels without measuring for the correct offset and overall diameter. You probably will get more help at kingofthestreet.com or a website that caters to large diameter wheels on cars.

Does anyone know what has to be done to monte to make 24in rims without cutting wheel wells or jacking my car up, tires size is 255/30ZR24

Yeah, go buy yourself a clown suit and join the circus.

Haha!!!

You may have to lift it up a little bit. Brand new, heavy duty springs all around is what I suggest along w/ Gabriel Load Carrier shocks all around. For a little more clearance you can use big block springs from 70's model GM A- or B-bodies. I also hope that you've got the correct offset for your vehicle. You don't have to be sky high to clear 24s, but you won't be hitting any u-turns either.

Are you sure those are 24s? They look like 26s to me.

What's up? I've been trying to get my car straight. I destroyed my transmission a few weeks ago doing burnouts, donuts, and hard launches on this desolate road in Texas. I took 2 weeks of leave from Uncle Sam, and took my car home to GA to get my transmission built. $1300 later, it's almost done(w/a ton of upgrades), but I probably won't even get to drive it again for months. I've been checking on yours on CarDomain.

He shouldn't have as much trouble fitting his wheels than I did. He's only on 24s, I've got 26s.

Had 22s on mine with air shocks in the rear and adapters, front and back, to kick the rim off the frame. That should give you you enough clearance. Mine were 9.5 inches wide so no tight turns, would lockup in front.
