    You have a lot of room up front but the rears are tight. The biggest I would recomend in back - 15x8 with 3.5 in back spacing.

    Hi Guys,

    My '86 has American Racing "Vectors"...the T-Type look-a-likes (also used on the Duke's General Lee). They are 8.5" wide with a 3.5" backspacing along with aluminum rear drums and allow me to fit Hoosier Pro Street 29" X 12.50" radials nicely with no rubbing, wheel-lip or frame mods. Another set of the same size Vectors will have 295/65R/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. These are with original 15" X 7" T-Type wheels in the front.

    Hope this helps....:)

    Hey, this is my 87 Turbo car. I know its not a V8 regal, but it gets the job done. These are my 15x8 Centerline Telstars. Those are 28x10.5 ET drags on there. Ive had weld pro stars and they cracked on me. Just the front one, but it sucks having to replace wheels that have less than 5000 miles on them. I consider these to be an alternative to the welds, I think they look a little sharper anyway.
