Rims name
How are these rims called.They are 15 inch and pretty sure they were standard but I can't find their name thou they have the Pontiac name on them.
Also what is the most white tire that works on them.I see 215/65 R15 was the default.Will 235 fit on that.
thanks in advance.Sorry if the question looks stupid but here in europe they are really hard to find ,especially if you are trying to keep the originality.

Re: Rims name
I believe those are just called Formula wheels. A 235 will fit but 225 might look a little better.

Re: Rims name
Of course with 235 wont be /65.As the tire gets wider the ratio has to get smaller to keep the size.
This sure sounds interesting.What is the exact size please .
Wonder if I'll find some pics ...255 seems really wide compared to stock 215 but probably look really good.
