James, it was the crank trigger on my brothers cavalier, got it runing and when he pulled ot of the driveway it shut down...... yeah needed 3.5 quarts of oil, got it started again and got it home 2 miles a way and it locked up when he got hit home. OUCH!

If you remember right he was leaking oil prety bad for a while and I guess he was not watching it.

Car had/has a little over 200k miles on it.

I might be doing yet another engine swap.

The front wheels are at least 8" wide.
I'd say to go with a 245/45/r17 for the front and go with 275/40R17 for the rear! But it's up to you. The front tires would be slightly taller though. Not much! BTW I was super busy at work today and didn't get a chance to call them and see what was available! I'll pm you when I find out tomorrow. For Sure! lol

I would run no bigger than 245x45x17s on there because if u run a 275 MT Dr will be shorter than frt and that looks shitty. dont know if they make a 225 or 235 tire though!

If you have ws6 wheels they are all 17x9.
A 245-45-17 will look funny on the front(tire stretch)
Thats why I didn't put your tires on the front of mine James.
I would leave the 275's all the way around.
If you need track tires pick up a set of 16 inch stockers. They can be found dirt cheap and so can tires. Or run gto spares(poor man skinnies) in the front for the track, thats my plan.
