Wide Tires on a 91GT

JohnnyG · 08-05-2001, 06:03 PM

I'm upgrading to 5-lug on my 91GT conv. and want to know what's the widest tire I can fit under my front wheel wells without rubbing? Would the addition of wheel spacers allow me to run wider tires up front? Thanks.

On my 87 I ran 255-50/15 in the back (with quad shock flipped over) and 245-50/15 in the front. Your car has a slightly larger wheel well in the front, so you could probably go a little bigger there. If you get rims with the correct offset, you shouldn't need a wheel spacer.
