moncks corner, sc?

**Spikito** · 10-03-2009, 02:30 PM

i don't see any prob...just keep your tire size under 300

**motorhead584** · 10-03-2009, 03:26 PM

yeah been here since march, thanks for the feedback

**motorhead584** · 10-03-2009, 03:28 PM

oh yeah, do you guys think ill need spacers? seems like id be prety tight without them

**ta_silver_bullet** · 10-04-2009, 08:44 PM

Most people say that they run 285 or 295 35/18's no problem in teh rear. If lowered you need to have an adj panhard rod to center the wheels up again this will keep it from rubbing

**Spikito** · 10-04-2009, 09:54 PM

with 18s just make sure the profile is low enough...what do you plan to run up front...thats where youre more likely to run into issues

**motorhead584** · 10-05-2009, 03:58 PM

im just going to run 17x9.5 in the front wrapped in 275/40/17/'s. people have been telling me ill need at least a 1/4" spacer in the rear, no big deal was just wondering where i could find one if needed?

**Fasthawk99** · 10-08-2009, 01:35 PM

I have these on my 99 hawk. 18 10.5 on rear and 18 8.5 in front. nothing needed either way with 295 30 on the rear. i am going to powder mine black or sell them in about 3 months.

Wont u need a spacer to run 17x9.5 in front too? thought the widest we could go on a fbody was 8.5 with out modifying

I have 18x9.5" wheels with 285/35/18 tires out back and both sides rub the inner fenderwell. It rubbed right down to the bare metal in two half dollar side spots.

**98NBMZ28** · 10-21-2009, 05:42 PM

i have 18x9.5 all the way around with 275/35/18's with only a slight rub in the front wheel well at full lock.

**ss2000** · 10-25-2009, 08:42 PM

I have a 2000 SS camaro, 10.5 in the back, 8.5 up front with 295/35/18 and 255/40/18 with no problems and no spacers. I also bought my wheels from oewheellic.com. the zo6 deep dish style rims , i need to place pics on this site soon.

I have the C6 18x10.5 on all corners w/ 315/30-18
Pix in signature. (You'll need a 1/4" spacer in the back)

I am running an 18x10 and I wouldn't go any bigger than that.

**Spikito** · 10-27-2011, 12:02 PM

I'm 18X10.5 on the rear, running 295s....its pretty damn tight, I used a 1/4" spacer just to make myself feel better

That's not what you one on the front though...?

**matt evans** · 10-27-2011, 06:21 PM

im running 18x10.5 on the back of my Z with BFG KDWs and they clear fine but i also have full UMI setup in the back. On my 00 SS i have 17x10.5 nitto drags 315 and they rub. depending how big a tire you want to run, anything over 300 you need to find a body shop with a fender roller or grind the lip down. lowering it will help with the clearence around the bump stops.

it is all about the offset of the wheel. plenty of guys running 315s on 17x11 ZR1 wheels with no mods. Like I said in the other thread I have 18x11s with 315s and no mods. I am lowered on stranos and have a umi adj. panhard bar.
