I recently picked up a second Malibu wagon. car is a 83 wagon with a 7.5 rear and all stock suspension. will be installing a gn rear shortly.

I found a set of rims on summitracing.com that I like. the 15x8 is offered in 2 sizes.
15 x 8 with 4.5" b.s.
15 x 8 with 5.5" b.s

which will fit best without a lot of modding. I know I will need to roll lips

plan to run a 255/60/15 . car will be lowered between 1"-2".

was also thinking of running the 15x4 in front which has 1.75" b.s.
what width 55 or 60 series tire can I go with?

thank you for any advice

4.5 bs is the one you will have to use, and the 255/60 will be tight clearance on the frame but should work ok. I've had ok luck with using a 205/70 on the front with the 4" wide wheel, but the correct tire to use would be 165/80.
