16 inch rims

[goof]

anybody using 16s ? I've seen 17" and up or stock 15s but not too many 16. To me, 16" seems to be a good compromise between size and cost. Any tire size combos, backspacing issues? I was thinking about a 245/50 on all four corners, or maybe a 275/50 on the rear. Any thoughts?

I had 16" on my `67 GS but now i have 17"`s,i had 16x8 all around with 245/50 16`s all around,rear backspacing was 6" and front 5",hope this helps.

Thank you

Hey George, got those wheels all polished up and ready to go, just got the car out and making some suspension mods, ( 86 GN)
I purchased your 16x8 wheels and just measured backspacing a minute ago after i saw your post, I'm reading 4and 1/4" backspace on the wheel,for front and back. in yourpost where you refering to the new 17" wheels? for everones info the wheels are Weld Pro Star 16 x 8" with 4and 1/4" backspace . George where did you measure from the tire or the wheel itself as this may clear a few things up? thanks Bruce:grin:
P.S. I can't believe I polished all those lugnuts and then remembered that the GN's are metric, DOUHHH:Dou:
