On what wheel/tire combo to go w/on my '86 T/A. The car has yet to be shipped to me (eBay win) but I want to know if I can go w/17" ZR1 replicas on it. I have only previously owned 4th gen T/As, so I'm not sure what size/width a person can get away w/on these cars, nor do I neccesarily know what 'looks right' on this era of F-cars. Any and all opinions would be welcome. Pics would be even better... ;^)

Thanks, all!

 

Wow. Major 'Newb' move there. Just noticed the 42 page thread that was right below my post that covers every wheel for these cars known to man.. LOL!

I still just would really like to know if a set of 17" ZR1 reps. will bolt right on to my '86 though.(?)

Thanks. And double-thanks for all those who resisted flaming the sh*t out of me for that question.

You will need bolt on spacers, around 2" thick, front and rear

 

Thanks, Bud. But ThirdGenfest just PM'd me re: a set of refinished 16×8" GTA wheels painted any color I want (I'm thinking graphite spokes for my Flame Red T/A w/grey cloth interior) for $550. I don't think I can pass these up @ that price. Btw, is there a downside when using larger wheels and spacers?
Thanks for the info.

 

It is harder on your front suspension parts.
