American Racing AR86 wheels, 40mm offset, 16x7" rim with 225-55-ZR16 on an 85GT.



AR does not make them anymore. That is an older photo, as I have new tires (same size).

I'm mainly interested in the tires, I already have a set of wheels, I want to see how big looks too big, and how small looks to small!

I have 225/50/16 rear and 205/55/16 front, I think the rears are just right but IMO the front should be shorter like a 205/50/16.

225/55/16 rear, 215/55/16 front...stock Grand Am wheels...stock 84 suspension. They work well...they don't rub anywhere, and they fill out the wheel wells nicely. But...this point can be good or bad...they also make the car sit quite high (check out the same car in some lineups with other Fieros here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...L/089885-3.html#p104 ). I admit that it doesn't look as nice as a lowered suspension and lower profile tires...but I also don't have to worry about scraping on things.

It was chrome for a little while there because I looked at them right when they were posted with chrome, and 15 minutes later they didn't work on chrome, but worked on safari

205/50/16 in front and 245/45/16's in the rear... mainly because I have two sets of the same wheels and one set has 205/50/16's and the other set was all 245/45/16's.

What riim brand, offset, etc. are those? I might have to go with something like that if I cannot find the staggered set I want.

Edited to remove the image, no reason to post it twice.

I have those same rims on my Sebring...

I ran 215/60/16s on my V8 car and 225/60/16s on 8" rims on my 308 kit. To me, higher profile tires fill up wheel well better than low profile ones...I like a lot of rubber.
