alright, my car has a 1.25" lowering kit, im getting a ADJ panhard rod.

what i have to do any fender rolling (please no) or hammering (not a big deal) to make these wheels fit? 295\35\18 BFG drag radial.

and also, if i ran a 275\35\18 in the front would it look funny having less sidewall? should i run a 275\40\18? or like a 265\40\18 to try and match it up.

let me know what you guys think.

 

What's the width and offset of the wheels they are going on? That will determine what they hit or dont hit.

The 295/35-18 is virtually the same diameter as the stock 235/55-16's that came on a lot of 4th Gens. Its the 2.36" extra width that may be the problem, depending where the wheels sit in the wheel wells.

The difference in sidewall height between a 275/35-18 and a 295/35-18 is about 1/4", not very noticeable. A 275/40-18 would be 1/4" larger than the 295/35-18 on the sidewall.

 

i had to do a little banging on my inner fender, other than that they fit fine, but mines not lowered in the back so i dont know

 

im getting the American Racing Rebel Chrome Plated 18 x 10. 30mm offset, 5x4 1/2 bolt pattern , and 6 3/4 back spacing. (i think thats the sizing) then ill run a 18x9 in the front.

i was thinking going if i run a 255\40 in the front, the sidewalls will be pretty close to being identical. 295\35 and 255\40

id like to keep the same size rim around, i dont really like the offset look. would the sidewall look dumb being only a 35? im trying to find pics of what itll look like, imo a 275\35\18 looks dumb. but i think a 295 will be close to the 275\40 so i mean, it should be okay. right?

i have no problem running 17's cheaper tires and rims that way :P but i want it to look sick.

 

i used to have 275/35s and i thought it looked terrible as well, ive got 295/35s now and it looks good to me, i can take a few pics this afternoon if youd like

 

yea that would be awesome, you can send them to jimrie@mts.net what are you running in the front to match it up?

 

ive got 245/45/17s in the front, they are the same tires that came with the rims, im on my third set in the back, they came with a 275/40/18 it looked pretty good, then i went to a 275/35/18 and it had way to thin of a sidewall, and now im at 295/35/18s and thats probably what ill stay with

 

also a 295/35/18 tire is 26.12 tall and each sidewall (top and bottom) are 4.06, and a 275/40/18 is 26.66 tall and each side wall is 4.33, just thought that might help

 

You're going to have a major problem... the 5 X 4-1/2" bolt pattern is for Mustangs. Your F-Body needs a 5 X 4.75" (120.65mm) bolt pattern.

The 30mm offset is way too small on a 10" wide wheel.... the wheels/tires are going to be outside the rear fenders by at least 1/2". With a lowered car, its very likely the fender lip is going to be cutting the sidewall with every bump compression..... or coming right down on the tread.

It amazes that people are willing to tell you they will "fit fine", without knowing anything about the wheels the tires are going on. The tires and wheels have to be considered as a "package", not individual items.

 

 

i never said the rim size would fit, i only said a 295/35/18 will fit, i never even read that part, his original post never said anything the rims

 

Ive got 295x35x18's on the back of my camaro with a 1 1/2 drop. Offhand I don't know the backspacing though but they fit fine with no rubbing. I was thinking going wider in the rear this summer since I need new tires. So they can fit. Sorry I don't have more details.

 

I've got the rerbels in 18x10 in the back but I can't remember what the offset was. I have 275/35's in the back and I am going to have to roll my fender on the driver side because it hits the sidwall if I have someone in the back. My car isn't lowered.
