NJracer Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi, i'm about to drop my 94 cutty 2" in the front and back (as soon as the parts arrive). Also, i'm about to order rims and wanted to know what would be the largest size i could put on my car without having problems. I have heard of people putting everything from 20's on their cuttys. I'm looking at 18's or 19's. Do you think that they would rub or cuz problems? And what size tire should i put on them? Thank you for you help.

GnatGoSplat Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 If you're going for the Intrax springs, 235/45R18 (26.3" tall) should fit perfectly with no rubbing. Stock tires are usually 225/60R16 (26.6" tall). You can also use 225/45R18 (26.0" tall) or 245/40R18 (25.7" tall). I have 245/45R18 (26.7" tall) on my 89 Cutlass and they rub a little. In 19" you could try 225/40R19 (26.1" tall) or 245/35R19 (25.7"). If I had 19", I'd be tempted to try some fat 255/35R19 (26.1") but they might rub. You can use up to 20" with no problems, just size tires appropriately to get close to stock diameter of 26.6" or less and you shouldn't have any rubbing. Sometimes you can go wider if you decrease the diameter, but with decreased diameter, you get more fender gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I definitely would have gone with 19's on my 89 if they still sold 19" Alessio F-1's in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 So I'm guessing my 235/45/17's will work just fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Yeah, you should have plenty of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
