I was wondering if 13 inch og's would fit on a 88 caddy fleetwood RWD? I was told teh caliper in teh front wont fit.....is this true??

what size of wire would u run?

get some 1/4'' spacers for the front and you may or may not have to grind a little. for the back you'll need to notch the inner lip a little. if you had real d's you wouldnt have to. a lot of people put 14x7's in the front and 14x6 in the rear, but i dont like the idea of diff sizes.

Guess my car isnt a lowrider, no I just want my car safe when I am doing 80 on the freeway, get 13s if you dont plan on puttin hydraulics on it.

puts alot of stress on the wheelstuds, in some cases they break....thats why theyre illegal in alot of countries

instead of having to deal with spacers and grinding wheels and also cutting the quarter lip so they dont rub your tires all these problems can be solved with just buying 14s(14x6s in the back) :)

imo.... plus u have the added benefit of IF u have to go a little faster some day u can...and they just look better lol :thumbsup:

grind the calipers down and put the 13's on it....those lacs dont look right with 14's IMO

i had to grind a pretty good amount around the pins and some off the top/front and add spacers. not feeling to safe about it though so i ordered a new set of calipers in case i feel like going back to 14's. i love my 13" d's but i may have to try out some 14" z's.
what i did is grind the calipers and added a 1/4'' spacer between the adapter and the rotor, i lube the threads and use a torque wrench to tight down the lug nuts to 70 ft/lbs. I don't know if this is true or not but, has anyone else heard that you don't have to grind off as much with china wheels?
