The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

They are 235/60R15's. They are 15"x7" rims I'll casually start looking for possible 15x8's but I'm unsure if Buick's came that wide with the 5x5 bolt pattern.

They're steel rims, right? Be easier to have them widened. I say 15x10's and 295/50's crammed in there.

I'll have to keep that in mind Where does one go to get rims widened anyways?

I'll find out and get back to you.

No hurry, it's new rubber all the way around, so it'll be a while

Nope the 15x7in Road Wheels are the widest they ever came. There is a place making up to 15x12in ones out of the original centers but I'd have to go looking over at www.v8buick.com to find it. I believe both Stockton Wheel and Wheel Vintiques can widen stock steel wheels, even change the diameter if you really want to mess with it. I thought about getting a set of those Buick Road Wheels remade in 17x7 for my Riviera but have decided to go with aftermarket aluminum wheels at the cost and not sure they would look right going another 1in in the centers.

Randal, there is a company called Stockton Wheel, in all places, Stockton, Ca. They are an old established company that does great work for widening your wheels...see them at stocktonwheel.com ...now burn up them tires!

Thanks for the info. Eventually I see myself getting a second set of rims for the car, one set for daily driving BFG's and another set with stickier/higher speed rating tires, but haven't given much thought as to what I'd want for the look as well. Not sure if having 5x5 pattern is doing me any favors either :P But it got me bigger brakes all the way around with bigger studs

It complicates things. Since I'm going to have to go with adapters anyway I've seriously considered getting a 5x5in to 5x4.75in adapter instead to leverage more wheels but right now it looks like combining a 73-99 C1500 wheel with a 1-1/8-1-1/4in adapter will work for me but I can't run a wheel with more than 3-3/8in backspacing or it'll rub.

In case the other one doesn't work out.... these guys are good (and if I keep my eyes open I may get you those wheels for cheap - blems)..

Also, 295/50-15 fits on an 15x8" wheel - it's what's on my Buick
