Confused on this tire fitment..

[Fesler built]

Good illustration and this is where most people have a hard time with fitments, The tires might clear when you have the car on a jack but once you bring the car down to driving level you will have much less room to work with.

Most of these cars have the inner fenders that arch fast so you loose a lot of room for the tire and it will hit and rub, you can do some small modifing to the inner fender to square it up but if you guys want to do something like the Nova we are doing you have to cut everything out. you can also roll the outer lip and use spacers to help fit wheels better.

Good luck on what you decide and remember its only metal so start cutting

the wheels for the regal are 9.5 inches wide, now the GTO will be running a 10 inch wide wheel.

here vince, i drew this up in MS paint real quick to give you an idea on what i see when i look at my GTO, the people that had my car befor me cut a little bit out the "roundness" of the wheel well to house a bigger tire. but if i make it completly squared off i wonder if i could get a bigger tire in there..



what is your opinon on this??
