GnatGoSplat Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Cool, I'm glad you saved big bucks! You had actually tried actual 255's on it? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 How far did it stick out? What style of Mustang wheels were they? Usually Mustang wheels have a 20-something offset so they sit too far out for a Cutlass anyway. I think with my offset, it should clear the strut body. Mine already rubs the splash shield on the passenger side, so I don't care about that. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Hmmm, but 255's should (theoretically) only stick out about 5mm more than 245's if the wheel offset is the same. Did the extra .3" of height actually noticably fill the wheel well gaps? Do you have the new tires on the car now? Got pics? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 If you bought chrome, DO NOT mount them until they stop using road salt. If you do, even if it rains and the roads are still salty from the last time it snowed, you'll have to wash the wheels ASAP. I learned that lesson the hard way. Grrrr. :x I'm kind of surprised that .3" didn't make that much difference. The 1" difference between 25.7" tall tires and 26.7" tall tires seems to make a lot of difference, at least in the pics I've seen. Quote
Dannymik Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Damn it Davis...Those are the wheels I had picked out for my Prix! I have a link for them stored in my favorites on someones Ebay store that are listed @ $640.00 in chrome. Did you get the hipo or chrome? Take some dang pictures so we could see the actual wheels and not some advertised picture. Quote
Smoke1991 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 nice rims... im still happy with my purchase :-) davis, you know where i can order replacement caps for these ar rims???? ill start looking now for it but just wonderin Quote
Prospeeder Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 those are cool, its april almost, get them mounted already! Quote
Dannymik Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 ooopps...I just pm'd you Davis and then read this post. So now I know that you decided on the hipo over chrome. I'm sure you all ready know to clean them as much as possible since hipo are a PITA to keep looking like new! Good choice Quote
Prospeeder Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 i wanna know what they look like, u can get them here http://www.aewheel.com/wheels_detail.cfm?id=96 i live in north Washington, its about 30-40 miles from the border, we are getting spring weather! Quote

Prospeeder Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 are the 077 and 168s identical except for the width i have an idea i think i'm going to try :? there not the same, they look quite a bit different, but theyd never fit a W-Body Quote
KingArthur Posted April 9, 2005 Report Posted April 9, 2005 can you post pictures of the eagle wheels when you get them mounted? I saw those wheel before on e-bay but was wondering if 17x8 would be too wide. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 8" is not too wide. I run 8" wide wheels on both my Cutlasses. Quote
Nick1234 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 i originally got the 077s for my lumina, 17x8 and they did not fit in the back. I ended up with 17x7s....... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 That's weird, they seem to fit Jay's Lumina? :?: Quote
terryk2003 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 so, davis...how long till we get to drool over your cutlass with the 077's on it!?... Quote

Dannymik Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 I might be going the Eagle 192 route since the 185's are a bitch to come across in chrome Quote
