Hey guys...what is the biggest tire with my backspacing wheel being i think 5 and a half.....i can fit to fill the well....i have a 295 now but what is the biggest...i dont want to lift it by springs..just tires thanks kyle 71 gs 350
325/50-15's fit. I should add that they will require some light wheelwell modification. :Brow: I have them mounted on 15x10's with 5 5/8 BS. I'll be changing to 295/50's soon as I really don't like the rake the taller tire gives my car. I would love them if I could drop the rear down on them.
You have to trim most of the top of the outer wheel well back about 3/8", just before the spot welds. You don't have to go down the sides at all. No one will see it standing and looking at your car. Only if they peak their head down there will they notice anything. And if you use a cutoff wheel and do a neat job, they still may ot notice.
There ya have it Kyle. Phil was my mentor on this project and he was real good about answering my endless questions. :laugh: On my car the diff isn't exactly centered so the drivers side wanted to rub on the outside of the well and the passenger side wanted to hit the frame and inner well (inside of the tire). The passenger side required way less work to fit. Overall it was worth it as I love the fat tires. But the 325's are an inch wider and over an inch taller than the 295/50's. If you plan on dropping the rear down on the tires you may want to stay with 295's.
well my plan was to have a tire completley fill the well give a natural lift due to the tire...but since my 295s were rubing on the outside of the tire...i had to install high lift coil springs....and if you see a blue 70 stage 1 on here..should be under member rides...he has the perfect stance..as do you so i will get back to you and phil..by the way thanks phil :TU: when im ready to cut... ps i am going al original in a couple of years when i can afford it..just a big tire phase i like now :beer kyle
