i have a 95' firebird formula and i want to buy some 18x9 1/2 rims for the front and some 18x10 1/2 rims for the back. i heard that the 18x10 1/2 will not fit in the back? is this true? my car has not been lowerd at all, it is stock ride higth! will the 18"x10 1/2" rims fit in the back???

 

I believe that 17x10's are the biggest you can put on the back of your ride. Any bigger and I think you will run into clearance issues and have to smash the crap out of the wheel wells.

 

american racing makes a 17x11 wheel that will fit in the back of the forth gen

 

the rims hes talkign about are 18 x 10.5 zo6 motorsprt wheels off a vette

 

The ZO6 wheels have a bad offset for our cars. They tuck in the wheel wells nicely but the bad part is that you have to clearence the inside of the wheelwell.

 

i was already expecting to have to beat the hell out of the wheel well to make them fit. i just want to make sure that is all i have to do, i dont want to have to run a spacer. i know lots of people who had to take out the hammer to make a big wheel fit. that is no big deal to me. so with some pounding, they should fit right?

 

If they are a vette backspacing, you will have a lot of beating to do, but they will fit. If they are f-body backspaced, you wont have too much, but there will be a little clearancing to do.

 

I have 18X11.5s and had to beat the wheel well a little bit because it rubbed when accelerating out of a turn.
