Anyone running 17's larger then 9-1/2" wide in the rear with a lowered car?
My camaro is lowered...maybe an inch or so with eibach springs. I already have 17 x 9-1/2's Tq Thrust II's on all for corners with 285-40 tires in the rear. I am looking to use wider rims and tires in the rear for traction issues. Will larger rims fit without rubbing. I have already rolled back the inner fender as a precaution and even then I would think the tire is pretty close when my suspension fully compresses. Its tough to judge what I have for space between the inner tire and the car/suspension but its not a lot. Anyone running 17's bigger then 9-1/2" wide in the rear with a lowered car? If so what backspacing are type of rims are you using and have you had any rubbing issues?
Thanks

That's a badass setup there. Me, coming from a BMW and JDM cars, I'm big into wheel fitment, offsets and negative camber. It's not something you see every day on F-Bods, but it's my style and I might try and pull it off.

08-24-2006, 07:53 AM #6I am running the 17x11 TTII's on the back with Nitto DR's.
Rubbing was minimal at first.
Then once the LCA brackets and LCA's were in, it was completely gone.
Springs are the Eibach ProKit.
Car looks sweet with the TTII's BTW.
Thanks

I have 315/35-17 Nitto DRs on my 17X11s, but I don't have those wheels or a lowering kit, so I can't be of any more help, sorry

Thanks!
Rears = 17x11
Backspacing = 7 3/4"
Offset = +45.72mm
I did not roll my fenders.
LCA are not adjustable, but my torque arm is.
I am running the Nitto DR's. 315/35/17. They are probably a little thinner than most 315's. But they are sized the same.
I also run a M/T DR 275/50/15 on different wheels. Just as wide.

TT2s 17x11 will work well in front and back with no modification/spacers

Is your rear end stock???? With the power you have and DR's on a 11" rims i'd think you would have some issues. I have a T/A rear end girdle installed but if I went with DR's I would be concerned with the ability of the rear end to hold up.
