A 255/50/16 is going to be about as close to the 235/60/15 you can get (in a tire with a 255mm section width, that is). That's also the tire size the GNX used on the rear.

If I'm not mistaken, don't these wheels tend to stick out alittle?
Jack :?:
nope, bs is 4.375" so they set in nicely....
ive used that chart many of times to get the most tire underneath the car as possible - it works well.
guys, im thinking about selling my set that i have if anyones interested. shrug.gif

Tony,
I might be interested in them...I'll talk to you about it.

I may be interested in them too Tony if Jack passes. It's all about the timing. I'd even be willing to talk about a trade if you were interested and it made sense. Freight may make it a bad idea.
ok, well see. id have to sell the wheels/tires together, but have to wait till i get my ralleys back from the paint shop first.
I picked up set of "01" S10 16x8 ZQ* wheels Saturday locally for $250.00. I think I did good. They came w/caps and lugs. What I don't have is whatever it takes to keep the caps on. The lugs go through the caps but nothing holds them on. What do I need? I'll have a set of 15x7 Monte SS aluminum wheels w/235/60/15 TA's available soon if you know anyone interested.
I have a set of ZQ8 wheels off of a 2004 S-10. 235/55/16 is the original size for the pick up and that is what I us on my malibu on all 4 corners for the street. The car sits pretty low and the fronts will rub on hard bumps on the outer edge of the inner wheel well. Rears fit fine and could go wider, maybe 255's.
The lug nuts from gm are 12mm x 1.5 thread. They have threads on the outside of the nut as well inorder for a plastic nut cap to thread on to. The nut cap has a shoulder edge that catches the centercap to hold it on. All of this is available from GM. I have seen aftermarket nuts like this with 7/16 or 1/2 thread if don't have metric studs but they are rare.
BTW, $250 for a set of 4 in good shape is a good deal! :shock: 4 new center caps cost me $160 at a discounted price. :?

Thanks for the great info. Chuck. Now I'm on a quest to see what I can find used. Yeah, I was real happy with the price. They were listed locally in the paper as 16x8 GM wheels w/tires for $295.00. Thought I'd call hoping that's what they were. Three of the tires are junk. I'm going with either 245/55/16 on all 4 corners or 245 in front and 255 in front. Thanks again for the info.
