US Mags U109 Bandit, anyone run these? 17X8, 17X9 what size tires to go big?

These look like they would be just the ticket. Not a bad price either. What size tires would run run to fill up our 70- 72's wheel wells? http://www.ebay.com/itm/CPP-US-Mags...id=100033&prg=9723&rk=4&rkt=4&sd=191151620391

Thanks, Kevin

 

They look decent enough but I don't know a thing about them. I would be interested in seeing them on your car if you get them.

 

Fronts....... 245/45R17
Rear..........275/40R17

 

Thanks, trying to fill up some empty space in the wheel wells. I like the look of those rims, an update on the classic mags but with a pro touring vibe.

 

I like them!:TU: I am looking at using these on the Apollo but will be doing 18's.

I have 17's on the GS and went with a 275 50 17, the 275 40 17 was too small and did not fill the wheel well.

Please post pics if you get em.

 

I bought the Boss 338 for my 442 from the seller on ebay Custom Performance Products. He was a stand up guy who ensured the 18" 338 would clear my Baer T4 brake template and answered all my questions on the phone. I spoke with him on these new CPP US Mags U109 Bandit wheels and he said they are a great looking wheel and fit as well as the 338 on the GM A-Body. The 9" have a nice dish compared to the 8" too. Give him a call as they are 10% off and free shipping.

For tires I would go 18" 275-40 and 245-45 or 255-45s all around.

JD Wheels has a few nice pics too...

there is a member on this site that had his '70 gs restored locally. the rims he has on the car are the units u are looking at. probably the closet look u will get to the rallye wheel.

 

does he have pics posted anywhere?

 

His name is Chris Gaunt. perhaps, if u pvt mail him, he can sent pictures to u.

 

It would resemble this if you go with 18"

 

No.

 

These are some 18's on an A body.

 

they look much better on the Buick.

 

Couldn't find a 68-72 Buick A body picture with the 18's. I like the looks of these rims though!

 

Does that Chevelle have air shocks on the back? Didn't know they still sold those!
