i have a 1994 camaro..stock height. i was wondering what do i have to do to make them fit right? do i have to hammer anytyhing? a friend is running 285 35s and he had to hammer the inner fender...i was wondering wher he is referring to? does he mean the lip ? any pics or explainations appreciated.

 

What wheels are you considering ? Our cars will easily fit 18's or 19's, the only reason you would have to modify anything is if the wheels are very wide... like 11" wide...etc.

 

the wheels im looking at are 18 X 9.5

does that help? i thought i didnt have to hammer anything with this size, am i correct?

and what size tires recommended? 285/35/18?
245/45/18s?

 

I'm running 285/35/18 tires on the rear and my wheels are 10.5" wide and I didn't have to modify anything.

 

275/35/18 would be good

245 is WAY to skinny

 

The 18x9.5 with the 285/35-18 won't be a problem as long as the wheels have the correct "offset". Anything in the range of 45-56mm seems to work.

 

275/35/r18 is what i have all around.....no problems.

 

how about 245.40.18 in the front
and 275.40.18 in the back?

and the offset is 56mm

 

The 245/40's and the 275/40's will work but, if you want to keep the stock rolling diameter, 275/35's is the way to go instead of 40's. Just wondering, why do you want to run such a narrow tire in front? 275's fit with no problems/modifications at all.

 

well. its a matter of money. i was given a good deal on those and i thought about it. i do wanna go with 275s all the way around tho.

 

245/40-18 is kind of narrow, but it is the correct outside diameter, comparable to the stock tires. But you want a 275/35- or 285/35-18 in the back, to avoid mismatching the outside diameter, and throwing your speedometer and odometer off by 4%. The larger diameter also has the same effect as going to lower numerical rear gears, and increases HP loss due to the larger inertial loads.

Sometimes a "good deal" isn't as good as it seems.

 

well to be honest. i am running 275/40/17s with 373 gears at the moment. and well my speedo is off at this time anyways..which isnt much of a thing i can do. since i have a 3.4 camaro.

so i should go with 275/35s all the way around correct? i think i will just save up some more money
