How wide to go?

**02bluez28** · 12-01-2007, 04:21 PM

I cant decide if I should put 295's on the rear or just stick with 275's all around, there going to be 18" either 10.5 or 9.5 rears...

Will I need spacers if I go 295's?

I know some like the rotate option, but I like wider in the back

Let me here some opinions from you guys. what would ya'll do?

You should be fine with 295s as long as you have the proper offset on your wheels.

I'm running 315's in back Lowered 1.5 inches, but that's on a 17 inch rim. I'd say you could probally go 315's in 18's with the right offset.

How wide are your rims to run 315's??

They are 17x11's in the rear.

Yea, I figured they had to be at least 10.5's. I have 285/40/17's on 9.5" rims and they stock off the rim pretty far on either side.

What is the proper offset with the setup I listed?

i have 18x11 in rear with 295,35,18, i cant remeber my offset go to tomzwheels.com they have the proper sizes, btw with 18's your tire patch is just shy of 12" of road contact, looks sick,

what do you mean they stick off pretty far on either side? I just bought 9.5 wheels and I planned on buying 285 tires but now I'm worried will it look bad and hang over the wheel alot? any pics would help my decision! thanks!

just buy 275, my buddy has 285's, not only are they a oddball size, the have like a tear drop effect, imo 275's look better in that instance

the need of spacers depends strictly on the offset.
I have a slight bias for running wide tires/wheels... love them

Go with the 315's 315's 315's 315's 315's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can guess what I like. It looks great. As soon as I burn up my 295's I am going to go with the 315's.

LOOKS WICKED!!!!!!!!!!
