| Ive got a set of nice condition Buick Rallys, I believe from a 73 LeSabre. They have 'E 15x6 JJ 16 8 95 M4' stamped on them.
Should I use these on the wagon? I need tires bad. What tires would you recommend? I was looking at something like BFGoodrich Radial TAs. Thanks! | |

| No. You should immediately box them up and ship them to me. Just kidding lol! I'm sure there are people that know more about it than me but if they're from a LeSabre they should fit. Your post does bring up another question, though. I thought the rmw's had 15x7 rims so what size tire would work on a 15x6 on one? I think they look great on these cars. I'm looking for a set myself (as soon as I'm employed again) Go for it.

| Thanks Jon,
That's what I was wondering. Too bad they arent 7" but Id like to make them work. Any thoughts on tires? I guess I will find out at the tire shop!
cheers

| If you don't run them I want them!!!!! 5x5 Rallys are hard to come by and look really nice.
Pat has a set on his Buick | |

| Well Im pretty happy with how they look and feel. Huge improvement over the cracked and dry 10 year old rubber it had on (which one of decided to blow out on the hottest day yet clear into the 90s, just as I exited hwy101 on my way to my Aunt's 90th birthday party and not dressed to be fighting with a tire on the 2 foot shoulder)....oh did I mention the spare tire that was in the car was not original and I did not find this out until I finally managed to get it wedged out from the spare tire compartment and...well...wrong bolt pattern. hehe  Okay enough of that, Here are a few pics I caught just before sundown. These are Cooper Cobra radial GTs 235/70r15 on 15x6    Feels like a new car, I love it! can't wait to get shocks (and bigger mirrors) | |

| Really looks great! I have a 79 Buick Limited with those wheels and I almost put them on my 96 wagon. They were my 2nd choice after the Impalas. You sure have a lot more and cheaper tire choices with those, and I love the chrome. | |
