    yes, you can swap them.

    however, it'd be best to put that tire onto another 8" wide set of wheels instead of putting them on a set of 7" wide wheels, just based on the tire size. it can be done, but it normally isn't recommended because of the wheel width.

    Hey y'all.

    GM dealer quoted me $268 each for replicas of the 6535b wheels. (i only need two, so it seems cheaper and quicker than 4 steel 8027s with four new tires.)

    Is there a better deal to be had?

    damn. now that i've looked at other options/prices, maybe I'd be happier throwing down on bullitts or something.

    basically I have two cracked rims that go flat every 24 hours and I'm tired of farting around bringing a 12-volt air compressor everywhere... and i'm poor and lots other stuff needs fixing.

    you might be best off finding anything you can on craigslist that catches your eye. most will come with tires too.

    if youre willing to roll your fenders (might even need to pull a little), then yes you can fit those 19's.

    how will 215/55/17 or 205/55/17 look on a 8'' wide? do you have any pics?

    I wanna fill my gap, the coilovers in the front are all the way down... If it ''fills'' the gap ill be able to run spacers for a flush look!

    would I have tire rub if I went to a 17X8.5 with a 255/50/r17? offset is 40 and bore diameter is 73? would that tire work with that rim or is there a different size tire that would fit better.

    cobra wheels?

    you're gonna need the fenders rolled for sure and maybe a little more camber, but really that'll help you with auto-x.

    Its either going to be Cobras or FR500s, If this guy sells them he's giving me an awesome deal on some FR500s. If he doesn't then I'll find some new Cobras.
