Re: Wheel/Tire Questions

Hawk ,

Im running 255 / 50 / 18 all around on mine. My rims have 5.5" backspacing with +1 offset.
For comparison you could do..... dimension wise , yours vs. mine. To get in the ballpark.

I have no rub in the front but close lock-to-lock to the frame.
But keep in mind I also have the Impala spindles bringing the wheel assembly inboard slightly.

On the rear I probably could use some more tire inboard towards the frame before interfering with exhaust. .

Impalamonte, those 28" 255/50/18s look great all around. Just wish there was more options for tires in that size.
Do those 9.5 wheels have 5.25 bs?
I am thinking of using an 18x10 in the rear with 6" bs, and a 295/45/18.

I was going to go with 245/40/18 in the front and 275/40/18 in the rear. Would these fit without any issues?

Those should fit fine Thumbs up

You can always compare against your current wheel/tire combo to double check here--> https://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

Copper ,

Your correct. My mistake.

5.25" backspacing on those wheels.

I've done so much in the last few years I mostly forget a lot of the details.
