I’m selling my original Buick wheels and tires. They are the 15in rally type. Rear has 295/50/15 and front has 245/60/15 tires. Asking $400OBO. The parts are located in Clarksville,TN
I haven’t measured their widths. They were in the car when I bought it. I’m not tracking any other widths besides 15x7 for a 15in OEM wheel. I know there are 14in wheels but not sure about any different size for 15in.
All 15in 4.75 bolt pattern wheels are 7in,..the big car 5in bolt pattern were 6in wide iirc,..never messed with the big car stuff
I have a hard time believing that the rear wheels are 15x7 as that size rim won't hold a 295/50/15 without really bulging out big time.
they bulged big time for sure, but they fit! Here’s the car wearing them. I replaced these futura tires with the coopers in the same size
Can you check the back side of the rims and see if there is a code stamped into the inside lip? I'm looking for some original '72 model 15" wheels with a "WM" code. When I'm home later I will post a photo of the exact area so you can see where the code would be stamped. I live in the Nashville area.
WM is the '72 15x7 wheel code I need to find to replace the missing spares for 2 of our '72s. I only know the '72 code (WM), so I can't speak for the '71 or the '73-up cars but according to Duane, the WP is a '73-up 15x7" wheel. I know he's studied Buick wheel codes in the past. http://v8buick.com/index.php?threads/wm-code-wheels.343967/#post-2914470 http://v8buick.com/index.php?threads/official-guide-to-rally-wheels-chart.196455/
Here is another Wheel chart that includes the WM code wheels. I believe this is/was Duane's chart referenced above and in the links.
The current price seems pretty reasonable to me. How many miles have been put on the tires? I am thinking there is still plenty of tread left.
Yeah, I was using a BCA chart from 2002 which is also in the second link. Duane states it is missing some info. I'm sure Duane's info is more accurate.
Has anyone found Duane's wheel article? It's not on George Nenadovich's site: http://www.buickperformanceclub.com/ (or I can't see it???)
