largest width of rears on an LT1

possibly looking for some bullit type rims sometime this year and would like to get 18's in the front and 19's in the back with the widest possible spacing in the back...really fill the back up and have it kinda sticking out in the best looking way..not ghetto but just filling it completley and if you look at it from the back you can see about 1/4 sticking out the rear..

any pics?

Re: largest width of rears on an LT1

About the widest you can go without doing some MAJOR massage work to the rear is 315/30/18's. You can run those tires on 10.5" or 11" wide wheels, just make sure you get the right back spacing and have a 3lb sledge handy. I will be putting 315/30/18's on my new wheels once they come in, ETA 3-weeks and counting for the wheels to be done being built. I'll post some pics when get them mounted.

Well, the car in the link has a min-tub, so it would take some more work. You can see in the one picture of the inside of the car where the wheel well has been widened. That is one of the only min-tub 4th Gen's that I have seen. A good body shop would probably be able to do it pretty easy but I bet the rims would cost you!
