nice rims, check for fitment before you mount up those tires, they should fit but you never know for sure until you put them on the hub and torque down the lugs, I would pay extra attention to the hub to center hole of the rim for clearence

I thought you might be ahead of me on that curve, excitement builds until Thursday gives you time to clean up and rash under those wheel weights, hopefully your tire shop will balance them with the weights on the inside of the rim

Well, here they are!! Everything worked out perfect except for Pepboys told me it's against their policy to mount a rim on a car from a different manufacturer that isn't the original. Basically they wouldn't put the Saab rims on a Chevy! So I had them mount the tires, brought them home and put them on myself!! I'll get some better pics tomorrow, I don't like the lighting tonight! Project complete!! .... what's next?... hmm

I suppose PepBoys doesn't know about Saab/GM? Most don't realize that most of the newer GM models used to be called Saab.

Thought the same thing when I read that, donbrew. Also.......

Pep Boys will gladly sell you rims from different manufacturers and tires, then mount them. So, they MAY not have told you the entire truth.

At least in AZ, they will and do!!

I think they were just lazy-ass kids that work at Pepboys for $8 hr and they didn't feel like doing it 'cause it was getting little late on a Thursday night!!
