8-Track Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Well, since so many GM cars have the same bolt pattern, I decided to get something different so I can run the bigger brakes later down the line. Got a good deal on a set of Chevy Equinox wheels and tires (managed to fit all 4 of them in the Reatta with my roommate still in the passenger seat, it was tight) My plan is to replace the Chevy center cap with a Buick one, run 225/50R17 tires. Now I do wanna get chrome lug nuts, but I gotta make sure I get ones that seat properly, if anybody knows this, itd be appreciated. I don't remember what year they were from, but there is a pic attached below. Also, does anybody know if I can bluetooth link the TPMS to read on my phone? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) good choice on the rims and tires..... I have some Buick tri-shield plastic emblems.... some are silver some are in 3 colors. measure the hole you are trying to fill and I will see what I have. You just pay the shipping if you can use what I have (these are new parts) Update... here is photo of the colored tri shield.... the are 2 3/16 in diameter. The silver ones are probably the same but I did not search for them after I located the colored ones.

wufibug Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I was formerly running Mustang 10th Anniversary 17" wheels on my white coupe but now have an old set of 17" Coddingtons. I think I got the red convertible wheels off a corvette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same height tires as factory. 225/50R17s However this really emphasizes the too high ride height of the car. Gosh I wish they made mild lowering kits, like 1 to 2 inches lower would be perfect. It feels so good to not be on tires made during the Bush administration though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
