Can anyone tell me how big I can go tire wise on my 1984 Firebird S/E. I have NO views or anything on tires or rims. Like I know NOTHING about this. Can anyone send me some links? For some big tires. I got stock wheel wells and everything. Stock rims too. THANKS YOU GUYS!!!!

 

I mean like hows this everyone?! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BFG-96965/

 

what size wheels do you have? thats a important piece of info. that tire you listed if for a 14" wheel

 

i guess they are 14 x 7. Like I want big tires but I don't want it to look silly.

 

Do you want bigger tires that will fit on the wheels you have on the car now? Or do you want to change wheels too? We need you to be more specific. Look on your tire sidewall(s) and see what size you have now, then let us know. It will most likely have a series of numbers [like; P215-65-R15] on the side. These will tell us what you have now.

 

i want tires that will fit on my current wheel but I dont want them to look silly. but i want them big.

 

I think you are looking for wider tires on your stock wheel?

 

Why did you tell us to when you obviously haven't? Not only is there a Sticky about it, but this questions come up so often that a person has to literally be blind not to see a thread about it.

 

I am but i dont want them to look silly.

 

Guys I have a similar question that might help the OP. I'll have to look at my exact tire size tomorrow but I have an 84 camaro with stock tires on it. On my 97 camaro I could get a 17x11 Rim and put 315's on it with alittle hammer help. That's the biggest and beefiest you can go on a4th gen without other modification. So I want to know the biggest using both a bigger rim and tire can I put on without any other mods. And that raises another question how do I then correct the speedo?

and OP if you want bigger tires eventually you need to get bigger rims, if not it'll look stupid and you run the risk of your tires blowing off.

 

Define "can I put on without any other mods"?

I did 11s/315s on the stock 9-bolt rear end with only cutting & hammer mods to the inner fenderwell. So not real different from your 4th gen "with alittle hammer help". Just took more of it plus cutting.

 

Pretty much meant no cutting too. After looking at another thread on here it looks like 315's are huge and stick out alot on the 3rd gens, but 275's just aren't what i'm looking for, i think. Is there an inbetween for 17inch rim or w/e size i need to get. 295s? or would anything bigger than 275's stick out? I want that barely sticking out, beefy tire stance.

What's a good site you guys get your rims/wheels? and the speedo fix?

 

OK then, like 86 TA said before, we need to KNOW what size tires you have right now, (not guess) and if the wheels that are on the car are OE or aftermarket. Look at the size(s) on the sidewall(s), and tell us what the numbers are on there, and If they're all the same, or different sizes.

 

Again.....Define what "sticking out" means to you. Mine "stick out" no further that what a stock 16" front bs wheel does when put on the back. In fact, they were built as a 9" wheel that I had custom widened an extra 2" to the inside. They fit completely under the fenders & about 1/2"-3/4" in from the edge.

For zero cutting you could go up to the 295/50 on a stock 16x8 rear wheel. 275s on a 17x9 w/5"bs would work well too.

But in the end, we NEED to KNOW what wheels you have/or if your wanting to change your wheels before we can recommend anything for you. Until then, it is a pure guessing game & a waste of yours & our time to do anything.

 

I'll have a picture soon but the rear tires right now are 235/60R15
and looking at how they sit now I don't think I need much bigger than what I have now. do they make like a 275 265 tire for 15inch rim. I don't think they're stock but i'm new to this whole thing with 3rd gens.

 

I have 275/60/15 on the back of mine. They fit great. I'm running 15x8 5"bs Billet Specialties tuck tight in there. You can run up to a 315 tire in stock wheel wells with proper backspacing.Rolling the fenders, and knocking off the bump stop on the rear end helps out too.

 

any pictures? that would be great. Do you think they give you that aggressive looking stance?

 

Pics of my wheels / tires or a 315 tucked under?

 

your wheels on the 15

 

 

 

 

Ok so heres what I decided I'm going to upgrade to the Corvette brakes 4 wheel disks and I want to see what rims look good on my car with those disk brakes?

 

are the s/e, trans am rims (15" aluminum 1986) 15x7?

 

this is a Full Meal Deal! has full has one can go. before alot of work, rim is 15x10.275"inch wide 6.5 backspace! 29.5x12.5 sportsmen,all under, can go 7.5 back ****, with off set LCA's..

 

Gottcha!
