Hey, I see no hijack, the only purpose for this truck is to get the car to the track
Sure would like to see another Pontiac out there on track, tired of all the Mustangs, the FFR's are a lot of fun to race with though.


Dug a little deeper on the wheels, it appears I have either adapters or the hubs have been changed, the bolt pattern is different. Have to pull a wheel to be certain, but looks like adapters though.
Finding wheels is turning out to be a problem unless I go back with 16's or use adapters. Inner 17's for a 2001 bolt pattern are near impossible to find.
Personally I think I'd just like to go back to stock size but a better looking wheel than the OEM.

I believe that would be your best bet and would give you a much more comfortable ride.

I'm still in the construction process of this one - although we won't be racing it since I could not get HSR or Vintage groups to come to the table... It's okay though - it would be a darned expensive car to repair if damaged extensively.

Good luck with the wheel and tire issues.. While the 19.5's look nice, the cost of the rubber and service limits are both too high.. I also have to think that the additional unsprung weight on the ligher duty suspension may also be a factor..

factory 18's might be easier to find. tire choices should be plentiful in 18's as they are about the most common now.
