jrbakke Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Okay, quick question on tire size here, every site I've checked says that the '94 GP with 16" wheel option is 215/60R16 tires, but the tire spec/loading sticker on my trunk lid says 225/60R16. Which Is correct? I would assume the tire spc/loading sticker placed on the trunk lid by GM. Any clue as to why the differance? When I buy my tires I will be going with the 225's since that is what the info on my car says to use, unless someone can give me a very good reason not to. Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Your sticker is correct IF you still have the same factory wheels that originally came with that car. Quote
jrbakke Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Posted February 8, 2007 I don't know if they are the original factory wheels or not, they are 16' Pontiac 5 spokes. The spare tire cover has been replaced with one from a different car, so the RPO code sticker isn't correct. Quote
jeremy Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 just get the 225s and call it a day Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 they are 16' Pontiac 5 spokes. Wow, I thought things were getting rediculous with 24"s and such Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 you can fit 245's on there.....but just stick w/ the 225/60/16's, they fit best on the thinner 5-spoke rims. btw, i didn't think 94's came w/ 5-spokes....only X-laces.... Quote
GP1138 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 I believe Shock's '94 GTP came with hi-po 5-spokes. Quote
jrbakke Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Posted February 13, 2007 Okay, got the front tires replaced today, and now I wish I had kept the 215's that were on it. My GP has the GTP body kit on it, and the 225's up front rub when I turn. Quote

Brian P Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 225-55-16 has about the same height sidewall as the 215-60-16. How much does the tire shop like you? Maybe they can switch them. Quote
Canada Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 you can fit 245's on there.....but just stick w/ the 225/60/16's, they fit best on the thinner 5-spoke rims. btw, i didn't think 94's came w/ 5-spokes....only X-laces.... I would NOT put a 245/50/16 on a 6.5" wide wheel.......8" is the ticket. Quote

I thought the first gen 5-spokes were 7" and the second gen 5-spokes were 6.5"..... i've seen a second gen w/ 5-spokes that had 245's on there.....and it didn't look safe... tire bulged alot. Quote

My sister has those on GTP because the previous owner put them on there, they are in there tight! The car has literally no sidewall. I really need to get a better set of tires for that car. Quote
