I'm wanting to see some big wheel/tire combos on Notchbacks, especially 88's but would still like to see others, but since mine's a Formula I figured I would include that. I'm looking to possibly upgrade from my 17's to something larger. I've had my 17's for 11 years and they are flawless, but would like see about a deep dish style wheel possibly. I'm looking into a 18/19 combo. Since I have coilovers, I'm leaning towards a 265/35/19 on back and 215 or 225/40/18 on front. Post up your pictures as I'd like to see some side pics, back pics, etc to see if it will stick out much as I might go to a 255 instead, but would like to do some 265's possibly. Also how wide I can go and what offset I would need to keep it about as flush as possible. My favorite style of wheel is by far a five spoke style of wheel and I do not like the rivets very much on my type of setup. Like to keep it clean. Lots of people would argue that mine probably looks fine, but I am open to some ideas and where to purchase wheels in our 5x100 that are 8.5 wide possibly in the back.


Here is my car now.




Thank you,
Amir

First things first I cannot help you but maybe check out some of kooljess's old posts about his hp evo's they were close to what you are looking for. Second, your car(s) look phenomenal ,is that a 930 in the last photo?

Thank you very much for the kind words. That is my buddy's 84 Porsche 911. It's an amazing car...has only 66,000 original miles on it. It's a non turbo but handles and drives amazing.

Why not go all the way to a 19/20 combo?

Thought it would look too gauky on a notch. Maybe I'm wrong.

The car looks great, Amir.

I assume you want to keep the same tire height? Try this site: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp
It will allow you to adjust all of the wheel parameters.

And of course Joe Torma's thread helps a lot with the offsets: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/058236.html

Can't wait to see what you come up with...

This thread might give you some ideas of supporting mods that will enable even wider wheels/tires.

Here is an 87 (with 88 front/rear suspension) running a set of C6 wheels (and some other cool upgrades):

I'd like to see some other avenues to get wheels from too instead of the standard tire rack and discount wheel and tire. Any ideas?

My 88 has 18" wheels on it. Not really deep dish or anything, only 7" wide. 225/40/18 front and 245/45/18 rear.

I suggest you stay narrow in the front. 215 really is best.

Here is what I have.. (I'll have to double check the sizes)

On my old 88
225/40/17 17x8 et45 front RPF1
265/35/18x9 et35












Current 88
225/40/17 17x8 et40 (stick out too far, going to order a new set of RPF1's in 17x7.5 et 48 and run a 215/40/17)
265/4018 18x9 et35

Running as much neg camber as I can in the front and they do rub when I hit a bump but then, its also lowered alot.

Wow! What kind of wheels are those?

Amir, if you get bigger wheels, are you selling your 17s? I have an 88 formula going through an LS1 swap and looking for wider rubber than the factory 215s on the back now. PM me a price if you are interested in parting with them
