after being told countless times by dealers and other people that 15 inch rims wont fit/clear the calipers on 4 wheel disc brake system, I did it. It was no problem. The only mod I made was to put spring stabilizers in to strengthen the springs so the taller tires on back wouldnt rub. I put 15X7 Cragar SS on front and 15X10 Cragar SS on the back. no problem what-so-ever! BFG P215/65R/15 Radials on front and BFG P295/50R/15 Radials on back with White letters out! Definitly old school look.

 

¿¿¿ Huh ????

Thousands and thousands of those cars came from the factory with 15" wheels and 4-wheel disc brakes, for several years before the 16" wheels were available. That 15" wheels will clear is no revelation, except that it reveals that you were fed misinformation by a bunch of people you should have been able to trust.

 

There seems to be quite a bit of misinformation out there.

Oh yeah, how did you get that inverted ? ?

 

Look around your computer for a "character map." There are a lot of neat symbols I'm sure you could make use of, Mark. Otherwise you can learn some alt-#### commands. Æ ² è ½

 

oh yeah, doh, ahh, too much trouble just to get an upside down ?.

 

Put your num pad in Num Lock; hold down the Alt key, and type 0191 on the num pad, and let go of the alt key.

¿ = Alt-0191
° = Alt-0176
½ = Alt-0189
é = Alt-0233

etc

big fun

 

Just like the people that don't believe that IROCs ever came with a 305tbi. Sad, but true.

 

You got a pic? 295s on 15 in. wheels are the most badass tires on the back. My buddy has 295/60s on the back of his 1989 supercharged Mustang LX and it just has the meanest stance.

 

Some Irocs even came with 15's instead of 16's. I've got a set on my 91 GMC Jimmy 4dr. Other than some of the people on this board, I can think of only a few people that 'really' know their **** when it comes to cars--especially third-gens.

 

IROCs even came with the carb 305.......that sucked...lol sorry for u carb guys

 

A carbed 305 in an iroc? No way, show me one with a window sticker that says it.

 

yep in i know at least 1986 or 87 tpi was an option for the iroc. i am not sure of the exact year though

 

unfortunately i have an 88' Iroc with the 305 tbi and yes 15in wheels

 

wow, some of you people really need to get your facts straight...................

there was also a trans am with a V6 once :sillylol:

 

:sillylol: I hope you're kidding dude. I really hope you're kidding. In 85 and 86, there were 2 different carbed motors available, the LG4 and the L69. The L69 was extremely rare in IROCs. In 87 the L69 was discontinued but the LG4 was still the standard motor. In 88 the carbed LG4 was replaced with the L03 TBI motor. The TPI motor was optional in all years except for 1990 when it became standard in the IROC.

See http://iroc.fbody.com/camdata.html for the listing of all motors available in thirdgens.

 

man that's weird, just a v6?

 

Oh come on, you pay attn to rezinn's posts don't you. He's not an idiot, a smart ***, but not an idiot.

 

Or just go into Microsoft Word and open up the Special symbols box and cut and paste them into here....

I've never seen an IROC with the 15" wheels and rear discs from the factory. I've seen Z28's with them, but not IROCs. Im not saying they don't exist.....

 

Ummm yeah... a certain 89 trans am.

 

I believe the supercharge v6 Trans Am is the fasted production TA built.

key words= "I believe" "production"

Maybe somebody here could confirm.

 

Well maybe that was before the LT1 and LS1.

I just wanted to add this before I get flamed.

 

There was no "supercharge" V6 T/A. It was a Turbo V6 T/A

 

The LS1 T/A was faster than the 89' TTA. Forget what year I saw it was tested(thought in 00'), I believe it ran a 12.9 by Motor Trend, a WS6 of course...LT1 wont beat a TTA stock vs stock. This is how I remember it anyways
