Thinking about putting 16 inch wheels on the 88 Cutlass. Question is Are the 16 inch too big?

16 inch too big

16 inch not too big

 

I don't think you can get those SS wheels in 16 inch and they look better than aftermarket. Maybe go to 15 inch SS wheels.

 

Personally I don't think 16" are too big. I have seen older cars at shows with 17" and 18" that look good (depending on the car) but most that I've seen at 20" or over are not my taste. I'm not saying that 20"+ are not good, they just don't look good to me.

My suggestion: Do what makes you happy. Enjoy the hobby and don't worry what others think. As long as you like it. Car guys are like fudge, mostly sweet, but there are a few nuts.

 

Stay away from 16's. They are getting next to impossible to find and will only get worse. Get 17/18's or stick with 14/15's

 

I think 17's are good, Of course I am biased as I have 17's on mine. But I must say your car looks good stock

 

I like the look of the 17/18's, but don't see much in the way of available white letter tires for those sizes. I've always loved the look of the 15's with the white letter lires

 

its up 2 you its your car!! i like 17-24s on cars i think 17-22s on your car would look good

 

Fixed

 

lol!!!

 

Gotta love it!!!!



X2!!!!

IMO unless you're into donks, anything bigger then 18" doesn't flow with the body lines of the car.
17-18" is perfect, plus you can upgrade the brakes to bigger brakes for better performance later.

When I was a teenager G-bodies were the economical vehicle for us broke kids.
Now it's worked itself into the hip hop donk culture more then anything.
