8" - 10" rear wheel
Need to see some pics of cars running an 8" to 10" rear wheel. Let me know what size tire it is and back spacing. Thanks

I'm running 295/50x15s on 15 x 8 x 4.5 Rally IIs now. They used to rub on inside of tire when turning hard until sway bar was installed and upper trailing arms were upgraded.
New wheels in living roon are 285/40x17 on 17x10x5.5. These should be on the car in a few weeks and can post pics then..... |

I am currently running 285/40/R18 on a 18"x10"x6.25 rim. This is on a 12 bolt axle out of a 71 GP though. Don't have any pics at the moment but will try to get some soon. Had trouble with rubbing on cornering. Replacing the suspension bushings and the addition of a sway bar have helped considerably. Occasionally rubs only on excessively hard cornering. Next step either upper arms upgrade or watts linkage. It'll cost about the same. Looks really bad @ss though.

Thanks for the pics. I think I'll go with the 8" wheel. 10"s would probably stick out a bit further than I like. The pics are a bit deceiving...the one at the very bottom looks much fatter than those above it...optical illusions

Marauder, so what are you going to do with those wheels after you upgrade to the 17"s?

I'm going to hold onto them and maybe switch once a year when the aluminum 17s needs a good cleaning. One of the 235/60x15s will become the spare.

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.
