19's on a 89 Formula.
i have been out of the f/body scene for a while so im not sure this will work.. but i figured i would ask you guys for some advice, so here it goes.

I just sold the GTO a few days ago and i mounted the stockers on it and took off the 19's..

The wheels are the TSW THRUXTONS, they are staggered.. i beleive the tire size is .. front's 245/ 35/19 and the rear's are 275/ 30/19, now i know the wheels will bolt up on the car but will it work.. im not sure.

i am not looking for that DUB look but the wheel well on these cars are larger then the one's on a late model GTO.

any input would be much apreciated........... thanks.

They will work if the backspace is correct on the wheels. You may need a set of spacers.

Re: 19's on a 89 Formula.
I had been looking at that set of wheels. Changed my mind on them though. If you get them mounted take some pictures! I'd like to see how they look.

Re: 19's on a 89 Formula.
So...how do they look? I've seen them on a Lexus GS300 and a 96(?) Mustang. The Lexus got me to look into them.

I have that picture saved on my computer. Didn't realize they could be the Thuxton's. Always liked that vert.
