Vega: 13 x 5 and 13 x 6 5.7 What is the widest wheel/tire I can fit in the front?

H-Body FAQ Section 12
on factory Buick wheels using a 3/16" spacer between the axle-hub and rear drum (intermittent slight rubbing)

What is the widest tire I can use?

_5
Assuming you've gone to a 17" wheel, 275s should fit without any problems. You should even be able to get away with 285s. As for 315s, they will stick out from under the wheel well, but not excessively. If you have a stock panhard rod, it's likely they will rub in inner wheel well under hard and uneven cornering, possibly resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. But a stiffer panhard rod and jounce bumper spacers (available from SLP), you'll be much safer. See similar questions...

What wheel/tire sizes can I go to on my E46?

E46 FAQ by Kris Linqusit
Several people have successfully installed 18" wheels on their E46's, however it is unlikely that this improves performance over a 17" wheel. The advantages of a larger wheel are better steering response and aesthetics. The disadvantages are greater unsprung weight (may affect suspension response) and greater rotational momentum/inertia, i.e. acceleration and braking will suffer. See similar questions...

What are the factory wheel and tire sizes?

BMW M Registry - FAQ E36/8 M coupe
All M coupes use the same size tires (225/45ZR17 in the front and 245/40ZR17 in the rear) mounted on one of two versions of the five-spoke "M RoadStar" alloy wheel. Both are sized 7.5x17-inch (front) and 9x17-inch (rear), but there are two distinct finishes: Early M coupes (S50 and S52 engines) feature a Chromeline finish, while the later models (S54 engine) utilize a darker Chrome Shadow finish.

Do you sell wheel/tire packages?

Pelican Parts Wheel FAQ
Yes we do - and we will be adding this information to the website shortly. The advantage of purchasing a wheel/tire package is that you are eliminating the need to have your wheels and tires balanced by your tire shop - we do that for you. Not only does this save you the money that it would cost at an independent tire shop, you also reduce the risk of that tire shop damaging the wheels. See similar questions...

Q 5.7: I've installed Ethereal from Fink on Mac OS X; why is it very slow to start up?

How wide a tire can I put on X rim?

Tire Tech
KZ - 2000/7/6] Multiply the rim width by 25.4 and then by 1.1 and 1.3. For an eight inch rim that would give you a range of 223 - 264. BUT, you're not done yet. If the aspect ratio is on the low side (35 - 45) you will need to stay close to the bottom of the range. This will be the case with the NSX. If it's for another car with smaller rims and tires with aspect ratios of 50 - 70 you can creep up to the top of the range. BP] As for low profile tires. See similar questions...

Is it easy to mount a tire on a wheel? Can I do it myself?

Costco Tires FAQ
Never try to mount your own tires. Tire mounting is a job for the people who have the proper equipment and experience. If you try to do it yourself, you run the risk of serious injury to yourself as well as possible damage to the tire and rim. Never choose a smaller size than those that came with the car. Tires should always be replaced with the same size designation -- or approved options -- as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. See similar questions...

What should be considered in choosing a wheel and tire package?
