tires, tires, tires
« on: April 27, 2017, 05:45:35 pm »

My '87 GT had Falken 225/45R17's in front and 245/40R18 in back.  I liked the car's stance.  8)

My '88 GT has Kelly Charger GT 205/60R15 in front and 215/60R15 in back with original gold lace wheels.  I don't like the stance as much.  :-\

Will any changes need to be made to my '88, other than tires & rims, if I find a perfect match to my '87 while surfing Craigslist? I know the speedometer might be off a bit, but other than that?

Will tires and rims from any vehicle other than new VW Beetles and Subarus fit the Fiero bolt pattern?

In Expert Tech Advice, see Parts Interchange.  All on the list have 5 x 100 bolt patterns, but offsets vary, especially from FWD vehicles.

To improve the 88 stance, use 215's on front and at least a 225 om the rear.  It fills the wheel wells much better.
