71cutty

So, im in the process if building my 71cutty. Im pretty much done with the paint, jus needs to be buffed in about a week. My next step are wheels and tires. I really want an off set maybe 20in in the rear and 19in in the front. Is there any significant to this set up outher then looks?? Or i was wondering maybe offset by 20×8 in front and 20×10 in the rear? Does anyone kno if this would fit or what would be the best set up 4me?? Id probably have to work a lil on my suspension huh?? Thanks for the help!!!!
And oh yea the niche wheels are my #1 choice followed by the red and black wheels just painted to mach my flat black and gold.... thank again

Not my style, but that's a matter of personal preference. The more important thing is for you to pick the TIRE size FIRST, then pick the wheels that center those tires in the wheel wells. You want tires that are in the 26.5"-28" OD range, and probably 245 or 255 section width is the largest you can get in the front. Rears can go 295 or 305 with careful offset selection.

Does anyone kno if there is a big difference between 1,2 and 3piece rims??

joe_padavano

Functionally, there is no real difference (other than leakage potential). The real reason for multi-part wheels is that a manufacturer can offer a wider variety of widths and offsets at lower cost (note that I didn't say price) by mixing and matching wheel halves and centers. The multi-part construction also provides a little more flexibility in wheel styling.

I run 18x8's and 18x10's, with 2" dropped spindles 18's are as big as I would go on the front..

Without knowing tire size, that isn't totally clear.

I have some Lexani's 20x10 rear and 20x8 front. I swap my original olds wheel with the newer look from time to time. The ride is good and doesn't rub. Let me know if I could help any further.

joe_padavano

I'm afraid that this info isn't really useful without also telling us tire size and wheel offset.

Alex72cutty

Sorry
Rears are 275/35/20
Front are 255/35/20

joe_padavano

Nice. Those are well chosen. I suspect they fit well and fill the wheel openings nicely. Do you happen to know the wheel offsets?

Alex72cutty

Thank you sir!! Yes, they fit perfect. Unfortunately I do not know the offset for the wheels.
