I can tell you from personal experience that 215/60-15s on wheels with zero offset fit just fine on stock brakes. I have no idea if or how much that conversion pushes the wheel mounting surfaces outboard.

What I remember is the big car and Cutlass had a different lock arrangement
on the trunk, one had the lock in the body and one in the lid. I grabbed a
vacuum release cylinder from the big car and managed to fit it to the Cutlass.
There was a round plastic vacuum storage chamber with built in check valve,…[Read more] -

I drove a 62 Cutlass over 200K miles, the “yellow car”. It covered a lot of

people would ask me if it was still running. I could only tell by…[Read more] -
