17" on a 91

[LeeSHO]

do 17" rims fit a 91? the previous owner said he had difficulty putting on 17's on the car, what do you guys think? i need 17's to put the 13" baer brakes

I have 17X8 OZ Racing Superleggra with 235/45WR-17 on my 1991 SHO. Because the wheels are 8" wide and I wanted 235mm width tires I needed to roll the rear fenders to prevent constant rubbing. I might not have needed to roll the fenders if I went with 225/45-17, but I wanted the stuffed wheel well look. I still get a little rub when my suspension is fully compressed. With 7" wide wheels rubbing would not be a problem.

Yeah, 17s will fit with no problem. I've seen Bob's SHO. That thing IS stuffed in the rear. But it looks good.

I am currently adding 18X7.5 on the Gen3 Sable. With 235/40ZR18s. Should work out pretty good. Anyhow,

Good Luck with the 17s and BAER Brakes!

I'm sure your question has been answered. One piece of advice is to figure out if the rim/tire combo will fit BEFORE purchasing. Wheel/Tire companies usually void a return once a tire is mounted to a rim. Offset is crucial! Keep that in mind.

While you're looking around for wheels, I'd highly recommend taking a peek at SHO Nut's Pro Race 1 & 2 series wheels. Very hot!
