Guest Gp crazy Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 I own a 1990 grand prix STE Non Turbo the rims size is 16.5 right? But the tires that I bought today say "do not install on 16.5 rims" The tire is a Tiger Paw Touring Speed Rated T and it says 215-60-16 on it. Im confused the tire size is right but it says not to install it on a 16.5 rim? Why is that ? :? Thanks jeff 69.04 + 9.95 * 2 , installed balanced, got rid of the old ones 176.01 total bjs in central new york Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman429 Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 16.5 inch rims were only on older trucks, like 1970's or so. Your wheels are 16 inch. THis is a measurement of the diameter of the wheel where the bead of the tire seats, in case you didn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
