What is the widest rim that will fit a third gen with No spacers, no fender/tire contact problems, and the most modification being the use of a BFH? I know nothing of wheel fitment, and I want to get the biggest 17 inch TT2's I can get on my car without spacers.

depending on ride height, 17x11's fit, and with the proper backspacing you dont need spacers. You may have to do a little more than just hammering, you probably wont find the correct backspacing though, would be 7 or 7.5. You will most likely have to cut off the bumpstop area and maybe need tubular control arms.

a 17x10 should fit fine, want sometihng like 6.5" of backspacing. Shouldnt have any issues with fender rolling unless the car is lowered a lot

wheels that WILL fit? or biggest wheels that SHOULD fit? 17's. no bigger

WILL fit. I know nothing of offsets, backspacing ETC. I know I want to buy a set of TT2's at the end of the winter and I need to know which ones to get. Tirerack can't help here. They're not selling them anymore

17" x 9"/5"bs front

17" x 10"/6" bs rear with BFH work 6" may also require tubular LCAs, for the extra bit of tire clearance. 5"bs out back is a no brainer, no mods, direct fit.

But don't be scared to do what you need to get what you WANT to fit.

ha!, i found this post through google , as i was looking for an answer to question mentioned by mikey , anywho , so if 17 is the biggest you can go , whats the widest you can go without mods to the rear section of a 3d gen , i was looking at weld rims and i liked the weldstar , if possible i would like to get the rears with the big lip and i would like them wide , whats the widest i can go , and if possible , anyone know who else makes 5 spoke start rims like weld ?

Birdstheword909-
Jeg's has a Weld style 5-star wheel and is available with 15x10 w/ 5.5 BS good for up to 12"+ tire int eh back with minimal or no trimming.

thanks c10crewchief , i took a look at them , i like them but do you know if they have the big outter lip , like the rear weld stars?

So 18x9 front and 18x10 rears are no good for straight swap?

P265/50R15 and they don't seem to rub. Prev Owner had them on there, and I'm growing used to the old school look. It would appear they would rub if pushed up far enough? If someone is seriously interested in knowing I can look at my tires again for rub marks but I didn't notice any last time I looked.

My 18's fit just fine... No Spacers - No Rubbing...

I have had stock P235/60/R15s, P245/45/R17s, and I am gonna assume as long as the math lines up with whatever size you put on, they will work as long as bachspacing is good.

It looks like P235/35/R20's with an 8" width wheel would fit in the same space as the above wheels being a total of only .4" bigger in diameter total. My vehicles rides at stock hight, so I don't see any issues with that. Only thing at this point is the back spacing.

i just threw on some ford anthracite FR500 17x 10.5" rims with 315/35/r17 sumoto tires on my rear without any issues... they have 6.8" backpacing. +1.10" positive offset. but this wont work on yours. right now i have ok clerance but im waiting to drop the car to see how they really fit. im running a ford 8.8" tho which is 1.5" wider in each wheel well than the stock rear.

Well I have an 82 with a Ford 9" rear as well. This is why I was looking at 5th gen Camaro wheels. I think I can get a set of them on the rear without spacers, however the fronts would require some.

I run 18x10 on the rear with about 6 inches of BS. Fronts are 18x8.5.
