295 to much?

[rajiv1998]

How many of you are running 295's in the back of ur car? Any problems or anything to look out for? How is the clearnace/fit?

[Y2KPewterSS]

Zero issues.

[Benner]

I'm running 315/35/r17's out back with no problem. I'm also lowered 1.5 inches.

[tpilews]

I had 295s way back when. Not a problem with 'em.

[rajiv1998]

Will i put any stress/pressure on my rear end? I am saving for a moser 12 bolt or 9" but dont have the $ yet. This must last me untill early spring?

[rajiv1998]

The ones im looking at, the guy said it came off an 02 ZO6. I have heard issues of them not fitting on camaro's T/A, is this the case? I dont wanna buy the wrong rims

[Benner]

As far as the stress issue. You'll be fine. I'm still running the stock 10 bolt with a 17x11 inch rim in the back since I've had the car.

[rajiv1998]

can any1 show me pics of a 98+ WS6 with these rims? Preferably black. He said they came of an 02 ZO6, so shud i have any issues with fitting them? http://i.b5z.net/i/u/1473169/i/testi...tine_small.jpg

no1 knows?? Come on guys! I checked out a few places today and a guy told me that 17's in the front and 18's in the back will fuck up my handeling. Now i dont rip around corners all the time, the car is more for a straight line performance, however if the handeling is worse that what it is now than i will pass. How much do ur 295's run you? And how long do they last w/o doing burnouts. I am worried if 17's will fit in the front becasue there is a 2" gap from the actuall ruber to the front bumper. (Look at my pic above)

I paid $275 each for mine. I don't think you are going to find 295s any cheaper than $250/tire. If you do, post it up for all of us.

Running 17s in front and 18s in the rear is fine. You need to check the diameter of the tires, for example:

If you went with 275/40/17s in front, your diameter would be 25.7"

If you go with 295/35/18s in the rear, your diameter would be 26.1"

You would be fine with that, and all this could be answered from this sticky up top:

As far as the wheels fitting your car correctly, do you know the offset of them, thats what will determine if they fit correctly. If you didn't find that out before you purchased them, its a strong possibility they will not fit correctly.
