will 255s fit on a stock 87 Cutlass?

Just picked up a set of Halibrand 15x8 wheels mounted on 235/60 front and 255/60 rear. Hope they'll fit!!!!

Will post pictures tomorrow......

Wouldn't see why they wouldn't, I had 295/50's on 15x8's on the back of mine

What backspacing did you have? I have 255/60s on my 15x8 rallies with I wanna say 4" backspacing. There is no way I could fit a 295 like I want. I probably couldnt fit a 275.

4.25 with 1/4 in spacer, so 4.

They fit good. Forgot I would have to get certain lug nuts, so while Wifey was out had her pick some up. I still have a call in to Halibrand to help me identify these wheels. No specs on the back like I am used to, just codes.

Looks great, white letters are the way to go! They look like what I call torque thrusts. If those are unilug wheels, make sure you check the lug nuts at 10-15 miles, then like 30 miles after that, then 50 miles. Then they should be set, but keep an eye on them. With new lug nuts, they take a while to set in. I'm sure you already knew that, but I don't want the wheels falling off on ya, I've been there & done that. Lol. I always liked the light blue color cutlass & like the way your going with an olds engine & all. Is it a bucket seat car?

No, it is a pillow top car. I wish it had buckets. Needs all carpet replaced from either fading or ware and everything else needs pulled out and a serious cleaning done on it. That will be after exhaust and body work though.
