screw airshocks.. 13" wheels FTW.
so incase anyone did not know, you could actualy get 13" wheels from the factory on 3rd gens. my v6 car came with them originally  _________________ 86' firebird (Junked in 2015). 88' GTA (sold in 2020).

I am pretty sure 14" was the smallest from the factory.
I would like to see what sort of work they did to keep that car together with the hydrolics like that. I am betting there is some serious bracing and re-enforcement done.
As crappy as it looks, I bet there is some serious fabrication on that car, enough to put most of our cars to shame. |

ok i don't know much about tires... why is that odd?
and as far as me knowing what was on it exactly... i have no clue, this is just what it left the factory with acording to my original GM invoice. the dealer could have thrown some 16"s on it before it got off the lot, who knows. it had 14" second gen wheels when i got it.
EDIT* from 0-hijacked in 20 minutes i think i'll make a post on TGOs history board in a few days and get to the bottom of this. |

| 60, 65, 70, something I might have beleived you. 63 series, just isn't going to be a real tire. That could be some strange GM code for a 15" wheel for all we know. |

Not air shocks at all, but 16" hydraulic cylinders. I assume this means 16" of travel

| It looks like a typo Tony, or maybe the printer just screwed up a couple of fives. Look up the 'QYH' RPO code. |
