The most accurate way to figure this outis to put the rear axle on jack stands (both sides) pull a wheel off, put a straight edge on the the mouning surface, and measure to the inside and outside of the wheel well. Subtract about two inches from the total for your maximum tire cross section. Subtract about two inches from the cross section for rim width. For back space, subtract about two inches or so from the measurement to the inside of the wheel well. It makes it a lot easier if you draw the wheel well on graph paper. Hope this helps.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
