H-Body Riddle

[EagleFish]

You are looking at the front and rear tires, wheels and hubcaps that are currently mounted on my 1980 Pontiac Sunbird hatchback.
The items are the same, but share what is different.
Can you see what is different in the photos?
It is major, not minor.

Sorry about the one blurry photo.

Are those 14 or 15" rims? The hubcaps usually cover the wheel weights.

[cjbiagi]

The centercaps look to be different than the stock hub caps?

[EagleFish]

rm617,

Yes, they are 14" rims,but what else them?

Clyde,

Bzzzzz! Nope, the hubcap centers are stock.

Looks like the weight is in the wrong spot on the bottom pic, hard to tell.

[CaptainPainn]

Top is BF Goodrich. Bottom is Firestone I think.

Come on guys! You are not using the clues in the riddle.

"Major, not minor"

rm617 already figured out that the wheels are 14". But, there is more.

Upload a decent pic and maybe we can see what you see.

They belong on a Chevrolet

Why are there extra screws on the center caps between the lug nuts? The valve stem is not coming out in the designed hole.

[kgroombr]

I think they are on different cars. Something about the wheel wells look different in each photo.

Option 1:
Left front, right rear??
Option 2:
The lower picture was taken by the Hubble telescope

The 3rd tire is flat... and since a b3rd = minor....the other 2 are major! (Richard would understand)

[dindin]

Is it the lugs are going through the hub cap?

[marco_1978_spyder]

Ok I notice a subtle difference....the redrilled valve stems, that Clyde noticed, are in different spots on each wheel. The side profile of the rear tire seems shorter than the front... is it a wider width as well?

from what I see, this looks like a way to get modern larger tires on the car using some hopefully inexpensive rim you can adapt the stock hubcap too.
