G-Body Guys, Wheel Fitment

[87gnnj]

Attached are the photos I took of the TT2 on the rear of the GN. I posted to the turbobuick site last night. I know its tough making a wheel choice. No one wants to buy wheels twice. Hopefully, this will help someone with their purchasing decision.

I'll be running fender flares and doing the wheel centers in black. The straight edge shows where the wheel will land in the fender lip. Although they will need trimming, everything looks good. Keep in mind that mounted behind the wheel is an aluminum brake drum. The tires are not mounted yet.



TT2 17x9.5 w/4.5" bs - will be using 285/40/17 BFG gforce KDW tires on the rear

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!

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!

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.
