Does anyone know the largest size rim and tire I can put on my 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood RWD?? I really wanna do it up Lowrod style, but sway away from big gaudy chrome wheels. I would like to put a 22 on the rear and a 20 on the front, definatly reverse rims, preferably a billet Boyd wheel. Im having a tuned port built for it now so it should be pretty hot. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

only thing u have to worry about is the skirt in the rear...the width of ur tires/ rims

any reverse offset rims will rub in the back on the inside of the wheel well.

22's! :hmm: how bout some good ol 13 wire wheels

22's are the biggest I would put.....I think they are 265's/30 dont know if im right or wrong.

If you can get 22's on your car please let me know how you did it. I want to put 22's on my car but I can't see any other way of doing it. (See thread "Can I fit 22's on this deville") The widest I would go is 8.5 though. The skirt in the back probably won't let you go 9 inches wide. The 20's upfront would give you about 1/2 an inch of clearance in the front and back. Those specs are for this size tire: 255/35ZR20. You'll likely get about an 1/8 inch rub on full turns. I don't know if would try to wrap those rims in tires thinner than 35. I've seen a 750iL and 300C with 22's with 25 series tires and it looked like the rim was hittin the ground.

13 inch wire wheels will not fit on 93-96 broughams due to the size of the drums and rotors

They will fit I had tham on mine for a week it looked funny and drove terrible down the freeway, now I got 14s.

I'd like to know how the heck that caprice rides. Looks like it would be a lot more trouble than it's worth. Rims 23" and bigger on a cadillac would cause a noticeable drop in horsepower just because of the weight. I'd be afraid of rolling over on too sharp a turn.

Hey, thats in my County...haha...guess thats why they call it the "City of Caprices and Impalas" here......good ol' Broward and Dade.......That guy lives right near my school, I see him all the time.

how did you get 13's on a 93-96 FWB the calipers would rub on the rim!

Spacers on the front, and if you want to be really ghetto grind the calipers.

sound like too much of a pain in the ass to go through all that trouble...
i guess it pays to do a little research before you actually go out and spend hard earned money on somthing that doesn't work properly.

Ya 13s suck but some guys it is all they will ride, ill stick to my 14s.

 

[Laker_Dynasty]

Im thinking of just going 20's, not a flashy chrome "flat" rim,,like a billet rim, painted center, streetrod looking. As far as the 14's go. That is all this car rolled for the past 6 years. Was a street hopper, nothing to crazy. Also had chromed suspension. But I framed it off, with intentions of doing a full custom show car, candy and all. BUT, i really dont have time to invest (or the money) to do the show car thing. I still stay in touch with the lowriding game somewhat. I am a freelance writer for a few import, lowrider, and truck mags. Anyways, I wanna build a Coupe in the next year of so. Something clean for the street. Lates..

I had 22x9.5 irons on my 96 fleetwood brougham. Fit perfect. Only had to shave shirt about half inch. The plastic piece that the shirt lock handle sits in.

Depending on what kind of hardware you use. Mine worked just fine was just way to low for these Texas pot holes.
