I Finally decided on a wheel and tire combo for the Malibu project, and mounted them on the car. Check out the update on the progress of the project and see what's left to do. Some light at the end of the LS Swap and rebuilding of the first car I ever owned.

The car looks nice, and i like the stance. Dont know what roads are like up there, but down here in NoDak, a little ground clearance is golden.

I really like the wheels/tires, excellent sizes. Your Malibu has turned out beautiful, just gorgeous! You have to be excited, I can't wait until I get my 69 back on the road. Shes been sitting in my yard just grazing for 20 years as life went on. I'm nearly to the point now. Great work man!

Looks good. I have about the same thing on my 70 Pontiac. Goodyear Eagle GTII 275 60 15 and 235 60 15 Whitewall out. The sad thing is they are dry rot but still have lots of tread. If memory servers me right I bought them in 2002. I was running them on my 74 Luxury Lemans until I sold it. Thanks for sharing.

For some reason you can see the blend on the paint work you did allot better looks flawless . I like your choice on the T/A's & those rears got some serious meat on them . I think the stance looks pro stock ! everybody does the pro touring look . The only thing is your not hiding anything now , & the rallye's look great & that's no sleeper ,hope You where not going for that look , ( LOOKS PRO STOCK ALL THE WAY ) Thanks for the video.

I always liked the 80's G-Body. I had an 81 regal that I swapped out the front grille for the 86/87 as well as the split tail lights. I thing it's a battle between the SS Monte Carlos & the Cutlass' in the best 80's G-Body dept. I also liked El Caminos very much with the SS Monte Carlo spoilers but I didn't like the taillights in the bumper. I would have had to have a body shop to cut out the taillights to the late 60's early 70's. But I dig what you have done as I forgot about the 80's Malibu. The LS is such an awesome sbc replacement as a cam & a tune will juice the 80's 100hp slugs into muscle cars.

I think Malibus and Chevelles look best in Rally wheels without a doubt! I'd vote to lower the front 1-2 inches to fill the wheel well but it looks mean regardless. Great videos man

I'd recommend 3rd gen camaro spindles 1" drop and better brakes. Some guys are using 2000 blazer spindles. I bought beltech 2"drop spindles for my 78, but your stuck with the same single piston calipers( I think. Plus I dont care that much if mine are stock lol. 25 dollar calipers) Canadian Also, I think it looks sweet how it is too

Please make sure and do a video on that seat for your truck. I bought the same one (2005 2nd row seat from an Avalanche) for my truck and felt that the S shape bars on the bottom would be a PITA to mount due to the driveshaft hump. I switched out to a second row seat from a 2013 Tahoe long wheel base. The base of the seat is flat. I'd like to see how you end up doing it in your truck. ~Pat

I haven't looked into it too much yet, but my first thoughts are to take the stock 57 seat tracks and adapt them to a frame bolted to the cushions and losing the seat frame that came with this seat. I think it's about 3 inches too tall with the frame it is on. I can do a video when I do it. I appreciate the request, the hardest thing is figuring out what people want to see. I usually just post whatever I'm working on and sometimes people like it, sometimes they rip me apart in the comments lol. All good. thanks for watching.

Maybe I missed it in the video but what is the width on the rear tires? Looking to see what the biggest tire you can fit is
@SlowCarFix
@SlowCarFix 2 года назад
I think I said in this video, but I talk about my experience with the tires after a long road trip in my lessons learned video. I'm running 275 60 15 in the rear but you have to be careful with rim size and offset. Likely better with a 255 60 15.

I may have missed it in the video I know the rears are 15x8 4 inch back spacing and the fronts are 15x6 what was the backspacing for the front?

Hello, I believe the back spacing is the same font and back on this set.

Can you recommend tire size for 85 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme with rally wheels … don’t want scrub or modify anything .. ??
@SlowCarFix
@SlowCarFix 5 месяцев назад
are they 14 or 15? if they're the 15 like I have here, I would recommend a 255/60/15 rear and a 225/60/15 up front as a maximum. I have 275 60 15 on my rear and it's very tight.

Great looking car champ. I have a 84 cutlass with yearone 17*8 olds rims. I have 235 45 17 all round , but I'm considering going 255 40 17 in the rear. What's your opinion on that?
@SlowCarFix
@SlowCarFix 2 года назад
That should be fine, but they're are lots of websites that can calculate overall dimensions and compare. I'm running 275 60 15 and they rub slightly when the car is loaded down with a trunk full for a road trip. I think a 255 should be fine on a 40 17.
