[Shotimes] Will 90 SHO rims fit 89 SHO?

[James White]

Any SHO wheel ('89 to '95) fit will any stock ('89 to '95) SHO.

I think that the '96 to '99 wheels were 1/2" wider, thus there may 
be some tire/fender interference on the rear.  But the offset is 
still correct and they bolt right on.

Though I have only had Gen II SHOs with 16" wheels, I had an old 
set of basket weave 15" wheels off of our old '87 SLO.  Got a set 
of Blizzaks for these wheels and felt that I had something better 
than 4WD when they were on the '93MTX.  But they won't fit the '95MTX,
because it has the '96 brake upgrade, so I am stuck with a large 
and wide snow tire that will fit the stock 16" slicers.  So, even 
the stock spare doesn't fit on the front.

For snow only, get the narrowest tire that you can get and still 
have the correct loading.  Thinking that my Blizzaks were 195R70/15,
which is a standard tire size for a SLO.

I have found that Tire Rack usually has the best tire pricing.  They 
also offer a wheel/tire package.  For your '89, it would most likely 
be an inexpensive steel wheel/Blizzak set.

'93MTX (with busted subframe bolts) 280k
'95MTX - sold to R.McCoy with 275k
'95MTX - 190k and a problem with the heater :-(
