CMNT does another thing

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

2003. I've got the largest tires I can stick under there without rubbing - 265/75r16. I could go one size bigger but then I run the risk of rubbing in a turn with suspension compression.

I threw some fertilizer on my lawn. We went from ~63 to 32 in a couple days. Sending that your way.

Yea, same as me. I questioned it, simply because 2011+ are 8x180. Places now won't mount anything bigger than that. The issue *supposedly* is the bead style vs. a regular non-half inch spec wheel.

Back on my '02 2500HD with the PYO wheels, I KNOW I did LT285/75/16 on them because I found the Discount Tire invoice from them. So when I went in to do it on this truck, the guy about had a coronary.

So I had a brain fart. He and I had been talking about H2 wheels. So when I went up to get the wheels, these are what he had...

Yes, these are 2011+, so 8x180. They're actually my favorite of the choices... I will send these off to have them redone, then get the adaptors

How far out will the adapters push the wheels?

2" at most. The adaptors come in 1.5" and 2" sizes. I just need to find out which to use.
