Any Wagon Enthusiasts out there?

Cornstalks -> Any Wagon Enthusiasts out there? (1/14/2008 7:15:25 PM)
So no one wants to talk wagons, huh? I just bought a 94 caprice Classic Wagon. We just had our first child, and I just couldn't buy a mini-van! This car is a 1 owner, 98,000 mi. LT1 car. Of course I have lots of plans, but not sure what/when I can afford with a new baby in the house! Would appreciate any tips re: wheels that fit without spending a fortune, customizing, performance mods, etc. Some pics of my Caprice at www.cornstalks.net

82 wagon here... i am looking into wheels for mine as well. If you're looking for a nice simple muscle car look, i suggest american racing torque thrust II or M wheels or the like. I love those and will probably go with them myself. Not too awefully expensive like some designer wheels. I imagine your car has 15X7 wheels. you'll have to ask or look online for the bolt pattern. but you should be able to go with an 8" wide wheel without a problem depending on the backspacing. I figured out my stock wheel backspacing to be about 4". that is something you'll have to figure if you go bigger. will the new wheel touch brake/steering components when the steering wheel is turned all the way and will tires rub (how much rubbing youre willing to have)? I just measured the clearance of stock wheels and tires and now know how much larger i can go and how much further backspacing i can have without damaging the wheel. Lots of figures to go over, but it should be worth it! 1010tires.com has a bunch of good info on tire/wheel tech and i'm sure you can find more in a search for wheel backspacing or wheel fitment. Good luck! I'd love to see how it turns out!
