Looking at the pics, it looks possible to run a 285. If you have side profile shots it would be easier to see.

I know if you roll the fender, you could easily get those 285's in there

Yeah, I see a 235 fitting there np.

what do you guys think about 18x10 +18 and 18x11 +24 on a stock body?
(no overfenders or widebody)

That would work you just need to roll the fenders as flat as possible and run 245s front/275 rears probably 35s on the profiles

Hi all,

I just bought a White/Black 95 SC4 . I have teins that will lower the car 1" (not intsalled yet) and I was hoping someone could tell me whether or not 19x9.5+42, 19x8.5+43 would fit without any fender modifications?

Thanks so much.

yup.... should fit no problem with a reasonable sized tire... 275/30-19 rear and 245/35-19 front is what I'd run...

shouldn't rub anywhere...

ok folks this is not a question about tires about about Shaving the rear fender.

I am running a @55/4 on an 18x9.5 +35 with a 1.25" spacer. So its like a super tiny stretch and I need to shave my fender . How far do you guys shave your fenders down ? And how far is safe to shave and still give a little pull without the inner and outer fender seperating after the shave.

how would a 19x8.5 and 19x10.5 @ +22 offset fit on a stock body 95...I dont mind rolling the fenders a little but i dont want to cut them. Would the rims be sitting pretty flush with the body, or will it stick out slightly??

fronts will be flush, rear will stick out. If these are the Luff M1's, they dont make them anymore, I was looking at those originally.

search luff m1 on these forums to see pics of those offsets.

Hello new here, i have some spare rims from my old vehical which i sold,
they are 205/40/17s, universal 5 lug bolt pattern,17x7, im actually trying to sell them but, would like to know if they would fit or will they interfere with brakes or suspension?? will they look sunk in or are they too small?

did some searching for wheels and on here looks, like you guys have bigger wheels and tires so im gusseing they will not fit..

Thanks

They will go on the car, but they will be tiny...

205/40-17 - 23.46" diameter
stock 16" - 25.75" diameter

not to mention stock tire width is 225 mm

not without the wheels looking very sunken in...

I'd do 285/30-19's rear and 245/35-19's front with +35 offsets and roll the rear fenders...
