G-Body Guys, Wheel Fitment

[GregInAtl]

I am planning 20x8.5 and 20x10... if I did a 4.75 BS I should be close....and I will cut a little if needed. The rear I can do a 10" on a 5" BS cant it?!

As long as you are not tucking tire, yes!

Well, I will be tucking tire,a couple of inches I'd think w/o travel.... what can I do to tuck in the rear on a 10"...is it I must cut?

I would suggest a frame notch and trimming the quarter lip. That is what I did and I still rub on hard corners and potholes.

hello i have a malibu too same year model, and i was looking at ur nice ride . i was wondering where u purchased those wheels and who is the manufactures for the wheels thanks

I don't know if it will be much help, but I'm running 17x8 5"bs in front, 17x8 4" bs rear on my 79 Malibu. The car has Global West front upper control arms with b-body spindles, and Global West Negative roll springs on all four corners (fronts trimmed 3/4 of a coil)which lowered the car around 2" front and 1" rear. 245/45/17 front tires, and 255/45/17 rear tires. I have absolutely no clearance issues front or rear.

18x10 4.75 backspace will fit I have 18x9.5 on mine

That's one tough looking stance in the signature pic, how low did you drop it?

I'm running this wheel & tire set up on our GNS Test Car "NO NOTCHING" at all !!


REAR:

285/40-18'' on 18x10" CCW "Clasic's" with a 4.75 BS

FRONT:

255/35-18'' on 18x9.5'' CCW "Clasic's" with a 4.75 BS


If I were to do it all over again I would go with a 9'' wheel up front OR Try and squeez a 265 up front. (First I will try out the 265 up front)

That looks really great.
What have you done to make it handle?

Really nothing Yet but a few things like ATR tracktion system designed to be like the GNX suspension (Don't work) and the Hotchkis lowering springs, Poly bushings on the front sway bar THAT'S IT! and it handles pretty damn good right now, you wouldn't belive it's stock!

Stay tuned for an update!

OK.. ok... ok...please email/PM a list of any part #'s you have here.
I'm going to run with 17" wheels, but a similar stance.

I'll compensate you for your time, I just want to make sure I am leaving this thing as unmolested as possible and want it to handle!
