Winter steel wheels for Cutlass

[kevmore]

Anything out of the states is almost double the price once shipping and exchange/duty is added.

Kevin...I show Buck's Auto Parts in Edmonton having a couple of Gbody cars...the numbers are the date in yard...so not sure they'd still be there or not. Might be worth a check.

I phoned them and they said the wheels and tires were long gone.

What would be the backspacing on these wheels? I sent the poster a message and they didn't know.

Not sure but you could have them measure....

The easiest way to measure backspacing is to lay the wheel face down, then lay a board or something flat across the back of the rim. Then measure down to the mounting flange, this will give you your backspacing number.

I sent her this picture, maybe she can figure it out.

It the same BS as the Gbody. Those look like they are off a 2wd Sonoma and referred to as the sawtooth wheels. 2wd Sonoma / S10 wheels are a direct fit for Gbody cars. The 4wd wheels bolt pattern will fit but have too much positive offset and may rub the wheelwells / fender lip. If you can find ZQ8 Sonoma wheels they bump you up to a 16" tire on a factory GM rim with the correct backspacing.

The studs are pretty aggressive but with 100 lbs of sand in the trunk ( to take some weight off the nose ) they will definitely be an improvement over any all seasons you may find.

Her husband responded with a 4 inch backspace. Will that fit the olds???

Just saw your post axisg. Thanks.

I want to say factory was either 3.75" or 4" dep on whether 14" or 15" wheels. So those should fit

A little light reading here 🙂

Well, I made a couple of phone calls and there is only one rim from an s10 in the whole area. I am SOL for wheels.
I phoned Canadian Tire and they want over a hundred bucks per wheel for stamped steel wheels.

Are you still looking? I have a full set of 14" rims that have roller tires on them. You can have them!!! I'm in pa and if you wanna drive here, come and get them. Free dollars and no cents.
