OFFICIAL: wheel/tire picture thread... show em off!

[Suzanne Bolyard]

My Buick is a 1985 Regal GN T-type.The first pic is with stock wheels and the second is Retro's 15x7 and 15x8 wheel size.These wheels fit right on, no spacers or anything.I think it made a world of difference in my car. Stocks will be run in the winter and the nice ones for summer.

Ah, 10" rims. Those really fill the wheel well.

Yes, those rims look great too, way better than the others.

So I never put my setup in here. I have GTA wheels on my car. The rears are widened to 8.5". Front tires are 245/50/16. The rears are 275/45/16 Toyo Proxes drag radials. The car sits abit lower now that the springs (SPC) have settled and I put subs in the trunk. No recent pics though.

Are the fenders rolled or frame notched? I'd like to get a set that big in the back if they don't rub

 

[Suzanne Bolyard]

NICE!

 

[BuickMike]

No notch. The fenders are rolled though. I only had that done before repainting the car. I don't think you need to roll the fenders for these. I have good clearance to the frame too, but I also have aluminium drums.

UPDATE_06/16/2014: With both my kids in the back (about 300 lbs) the inner lip would scrape the tires under big dips or bumps. Had them grinded down about 1/4", about to the spot welds. The guy didn't want to roll them due to the thickness of the inner lip and the cheap repaint I have.

i want to lower the car.... and run the 275-60 mickeys. i really dont want to roll the lips. the 15x9 will still be wide and give me a 1/2inch more room from the inner wheel house and a 1/2 in from the wheel lip. i think it will center in the wheel house better to run this tire and be able to lower the car the way i want it. thats what i am thinking anyway, and im going to try it, if i have to roll the lips slightly then thats what i got to do. we will see what happens.
