According to the BF Goodrich website their 255/60/15 Radial T/A is recommended for rim sizes from 7 to 9 inches... so you'll be absolutely fine running a 255/60 on a 7" rim. I've run them on 15x7"...

Looks like the guy really wanted an early 70s Cutlass and painted the flanks of the Firebird to give it the Cutlass lines. Bizarre... and nasty!!!!:gag:

The reason Herb Adams likes to use old springs is because old springs have already settled so whatever you end up cutting off will be the height it pretty much stays at from then on (as opposed to...

Sounds like a wise choice. There's plenty of people who've transplanted Poncho 455s into 79 Olds 403 T/As, so you'll have a good source of expertise from which to draw.

79 was the last year for the 6.6 engines (400 Pontiac and 403 Olds).

As Quick-Silver said, in 81 the choices were 301, 301-turbo, or 305 Chevy.

Naw... 255/60s won't rub on the back at all... plenty of room. You don't really have to worry about rubbing out back until you get some 295s on there... and then only some have rubbing issues......

Yes, 255/60/15s will fit on 15x7 rims. But that's about as big as you should go. Here's some pics (side and rear) of 255/60s on my old Y82 with 15x7 snowflakes.

Go with the 255/60/15s... as mentioned ealier they are very, very close to the original ride height (27.04" for the 255/60s vs. 27.4" for the 225/70s). They look like a natural on these cars......

No, there's no way to tell by the VIN. Machos were an aftermarket tuner car built by DKM, Inc... as such the factory had nothing to do with them.
