Are people running their Bradley Gt's on 14" or 15" wheels?

We'll be running Porsche Cookie Cutter wheels on my son's Bradley GT II; 15x6 front & 15x7 rear. But this will be in conjunction with re-drilled Ghia front discs that will have Porsche 5x130 pattern, and rears will be Porsche 944 Turbo aluminum trailing arms with 944 rear discs...

My Bradley has a lot of the original paperwork with it. There was a flyer from the factory in the folder (not the manual) and it recommended 14" wheels but the larger wheels seem to work. Nice pics Gem.

Nice pics Gem. At the time that Brad II's were being manufactured, 14" & 15" were about the only options in wheel diameters available. 16" wheels didn't start showing up heavily on the market until 1984 or so, when the Corvette came to market with 16" wheels. Then the aftermarket started playing in the bigger wheel market - Bryan |

Hi Gem they look really good! Did you make any suspension changes? Where are the wheels from?? Suspension is stock. These are Cruizer Wires "TrueSpoke" T-100 16x9 Reversed Wheels. Size was chosen by tire diameter to retain the original circumference. I also wanted the knock-offs. Reminder of my old XKE and Triumphs of old...   Here is their link: www.cruiserwire.com/t100.htmlThe 16x 9 seems to be discontinued. |

Currently running 14's on my gt... but I want to go really big. I am considering 17 on the front and 18 in the rear. I have found a set that I like and have the adapters, but I just need to get out and do lots of measuring to see what space I'll have. Has anyone ever put on anything this big and if so do you have any pics of your setup and info like wheel / tire size and backspacing. Would like to see whats out there.
