First off, I did search and did not find that much info.

What have you guys found to the largest wheel/tire combo for and 80 Malibu? I am thinking 275/50R15 on 15x8 4.5"bs on back and 255/50R15 on 15x7 4"bs on the front. Sound like a plan?

Later

Right now I am running a 255/60 15 on a stock 15x8 ralley rim with i believe 4.25" of back spacing on my 81. I don't know if you will be able to fit 275s on there without rolling the lip of the wheel house. backspacing is key here. ya might want to wander over to www.maliburacing.com (http://www.maliburacing.com) and see what Phillip has to offer. I know there are a lot of guys there that have done the fitments on our cars.
