Re: Question about your wheels. (archive)

I am looking for new wheels for '80 633 csi and see that you have 17".Do you have any problem with clearence at the wheel wells? Also,you stated you have lowered your car,how far have you gone and what is the width of your wheels? I hope you don't mind all the questions but I plan to mail order my wheels and love the look you have yours.Let me know when you can,I still have the original 14" on mine and I hate them.Thank's for any help you can be and again,your car looks great!

They are BBS RX 17" (I believe the width is 8.5")
- You can call Reeves Imports in Tampa, FL and ask
for Chris Chapas in the motosport division - tell him red 635Csi w/Dinan stage 4 suspension owned by Bruce. The tires are 235/45ZR17s and I have had no clearance problems at all. He said that the tire guy he ordered from said that 235s is all that would fit on the front without spacers. I decided to go with the same size all around for tire rotation purposes as mine is a daily driver. His tire guy said that 255s would fit on the back with no problems. If I would do it over again I would probably go with 18" and 235/40ZR18s in the front and 255/35ZR18's in the back. The lower profile in the back helps improve control (???).
