i'd stay with the 15's personally.
i'm not a big fan of the rubber band look and i perfer a tire with some sidewall for a couple reasons. they ride better and they'll give a bit of warning before breaking loose when pushing the car thru a corner. mike

I went for the compromise on my 64. I put 16x8 all around, then went with bigs and littles for tire sizes. My gears are also 3.55's so i went with 16 to get the same diameter as stock (27) and handling ability. the rear tires are 235-60x16. The fronts are 215-55x16.
I've also replaced bushings with poly-graphite, and the front springs with Hotchkiss lowered. The car handles like a much newer car, yet retains the old school flavor. |

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.
