Wheels

Your car....do what makes you happy.

Aftermarket wheels on the slabs and fusies are little more forgiving. A lot harder for Formal's to not end up with the donked look.

BTW, I think yours look great.

not to bug you Justin but did you have a chance to check tire size yet? Tim

 

[Justin Patton]

Hey Tim, I'm super sorry man. I tried to get it Monday but I got tied up. To be honest I forgot today. I'll get it tomorrow though. I'm sorry again.

I assume you won't be able to let me know the tire size at this point??

Another "ole guy with a hat" who is glad your showing an old C body some love.
But the wheel/tire combo ........ dosen't work.

Hey Tim, I finally got the tires size today. Not sure if it's too late, but their 245/45 18

I have never seen any Formal with aftermarket wheels that look even barely acceptable.

Looks good...I like the patina too. Glad it's on the road! I went larger as well with 17x8 with 235 55 17 tires which still have a decent sidewall.

Those wheels and tires look awesome! What offset did you choose in order to run 8" wheels with the skirts on?

 

[Justin Patton]

I did 4.5 offset

 

[Justin Patton]

Thank you sir

I'm reviving this old thread with high hopes. You mentioned you went with a 4.5 offset, but I'm thinking you meant 4.5" backspacing?

 

[Sergio Olivares]

Hello, I like them! just one question what is the Offset on them?
