Title: After market wheels and tires, a clearence issue?
Post by kdgtp97 on Jan 23^rd, 2011, 8:42pm

I have a plain jane stock as a rock 1985 Buick Regal gray over silver with 33,000 miles. I Just put 2 inch drop spindles on the front and inch and a half lower springs on the rear.
I am thinking of putting 17/7 Torque Thrust wheels on all four corners with Kumho tires.
Haven't looked into the clearance issues yet or done any measuring for offsets. Still in the process.
Just wanted to know if anyone has done what I am doing and is there any problems I need to look out for?

thanks

I think what sergey is mentioning to is a wheel adapter, not a wheel spacer...I have them for my summer wheelsand i have about half an inch of clearance from the side of the exhaust and jump with my 1.5" wheel spacers...Mine is also a 97.
