so here is a pic of the wheels i just picked up for $450. the fronts are 18X8.5 and the rear are 19X10. now the question is how wide do you think i can go without doing the BFH mod and hacking the fender? i know i would like to fit at least a 285 in the rear but dont know if it will fit. its going on a 2001 ss camaro by the way. not lowered at all. thanks

do you know what kinda car the came off of. if the offsets are for a vette you will have fitment issues in the rear.

yea you are probably going to have to use spacers to get the wheels to fit

**lsxrebel** · 10-12-2010, 08:31 PM

what size spacers would i have to go with? i dont know anything about wheels so any info you can give me would help

The stock 2007 C6 Corvette wheel offset is 56mm in the front and 79mm in the rear.

Front tires: 245/40/18 or 255/40/18

Rear tires(largest): 295/30/19 or 295/35/19, and get a set of 30mm H&R hub spacers.

FYI, you can probably use a 305/30/19, but the smallest width recommended is a 10.5".

what are you getting done?

you're going to need a big spacer in the back for them to look right. as far as rubbing goes a small spacer will do but it will leave the wheels looking all sucked in unless you use a big spacer.

a place in washington called speed secrets is building me an lsx motor. i get out of afghanistan in april of next year so it should be done around that time
