Hi necromancybeast, hello everyone,
Welcome to TOC.

I've seen 22s on "G" bodies, here on the Left Coast.
BTW, you misspelled Cutlass.
Regards, Norm |

really depends on your defination of "fit" from a practical stand point I wouldn't go over 17"ers. If you want your car to look like a retarded pre-runner, I've seen 24"s and 26"s |

and if you jack it in the air 6" for the really big rims, you may want a brush gaurd, some KC Highlighters, mud flaps and a roll bar too |

Hi all,
Quote: hot wheels is what I think of whenever I see wheels that big.
Is that why I always thought "Hot Wheels®" looked funny?
A couple of years ago, they seemed to be popular in those areas similar to the one that used to be referred to as, "South Central Los Angeles". Hardly see them any more, except on SUVs.
15" is as tall as I need.
Regards, Norm |

| If it were me, i would either go to a GM dealer and buy the factory mags, or look around for some and get them painted. One of the reasons that I like the Cutlass's is for those 5 point mags. But hey, whatever floats your cutlass (which pretty much is a boat!) |

Hi adma449, all,
Quote: ........ go to a GM dealer and buy the factory mags ........
I don't recall either magnesium wheels or the aluminum copies that were called "mags" ever being available from the factory.
Are you referring to Ralley Wheels?

| Yeah, i suppose that they are the original rally wheels, but i've always referred to them as mags and i believe they, and the original wheels for most years and models are available through a GM dealer. |

A Cutlass looks good with some Cragar Super Sports. I am getting me a 15" set for mine.
