I have searched all over and can't find out what i need to know. I have a 63 I wanna run 20 inch wheels like this one http://www.v8.co.nz/articles/1963-cadillac-coupe-deville-the-perfect-woman-34 ..........hes running 20×10 and 20×8.5-inch Bonspeed Malibu billet wheels, 245/45R20 and 275/45R20 tires, will they just bolt on? i need to know the off-set and whatnot any help would be great!
It's not hate. It's like going on a website about prop planes and asking for help on your F14. You're gonna get a lot more responses and they all won't be as polite as mine
I've been on here since 08 I'm aware no worries, hopefully i'll get the info i need in the middle of it all, i Googled pics of 20's on 63 Cadillac's and that came up i like the size combo and i'm bagging mine so i need to know what will fit, with no fab work.
You can start by buying a tape measure. And seriously, friendly advice, they will not just bolt on with no problems. Even if they did you don't want to try and stop that heavy car with 20" wheels and stock drum brakes. just my 2 cent.
They probably won't bolt right up, but it may not be too hard to make it happen. There's a tool out there to help you determine the offset and size of wheels you can run. You can search for that. But a little research and trial and error may help you out too. Height and width wise is probably not an issue, use this calculator: http://www.ajdesigner.com/fl_tire/tire.php Spacers can help with the offset in one direction. Genius idea: If there's a Rent-a-Wheel place around you, have them fit up a few different sizes. Maybe even rent a set for a week and see how you like them. If nothing else, they can find the offsets you'll need to know for the wheels you want to buy.
Na, I figure wide whites are 900 bucks just for tires, I can get a whole setup of 20's with tires for that lol.
Snuggies are $9.99. Just because they're less expensive doesn't make 'em better. Not to mention your price quote on WW's is a bit high.
