Wheels-Tires Advice on rear wheel size please

[91GTstroked]

Hey guys,

I'm waiting for LMR to get the 17" chrome ponies back in stock. I initially thought about going 17x8 on all 4 corners. Then I could rotate tires.

But the staggered look with 17x9 in rear might look better. I'm running stock suspension and don't want to remove or flip the quad shocks.

Any experience with them?

Yep I have that same setup and they with no modifications.

Rear tire size will determine if you need to flip the quad shocks. I have mine flipped on all 3 of my cars and run 275/40/17's on mine. Flipping the quad shock does not affect anything and literally takes 5 to 10 minutes tops.

I guess I should have added that I run the 275/40/17 Nitto 555 G2 in the rear.

I have the LMR chrome ponies 17 X 8/9 on my ‘86. I had to flip the quad shocks for the rears to fit, but that’s an easy task and it hasn’t caused any issues for me.

Thanks guys, I have flipped the quad shocks in the past on a older car.

I may do 17x8 on all 4 corners. Just depends on what is in stock first. Seems they are hard to find.

Edit:. They do have 16x7 chrome ponies in stock. Just feel the 17's would look better.

Im thinking about 17x10 ponys in the rear. Ive heard the fit from LMR is good, just need to flip quad shocks. 275 tire max though

You guys with the 275/40's did you run into any issues with the fender?

 

[Dan02gt]

No my fenders are completely stock and I have not problems with them clearing.
