I currently have 17x9.5 wheels and 275/40-17 all around on my car and I would like to know if a 285 tire would fit without any problems?
I did a search and came up with afew topics but no answers.
thanks, rocc

 

Man, I can't answer that but I would like to say that I like the wheels and tires! I was curious how you fit those on the front? I thought there we're clearance problems up front.

 

295's they were 15s though, and they rubbed bad

 

what part of the car did they rub? outside fender or inside?

 

I have the ZR1 style SS whells wich are 9.5 wide and I am running a 285/40/17 with no problems. hope this helps.

 

I ordered them straight from American Racing and I had them made with a 5.5 inch offset to get them to fit. I believe they normally come with 4 or 4.5. It cost me a bit more but it was worth it to me.
I would like to get a little wider out back , thats why I was asking.
Thanks, rocc

 

Yea man 285's will fit no prob on a 17x9.5 on the rear with 5.5 backspacing.. I was running 315's on mine (same rims as you too) you can see pics on my web page.. They looked very badass... Until I wrote the car off a couple weeks ago

 

Can anyone photo chop the wheels and tires off of the car at the top and put them on mine? Those look really cool and I was wondering what they would look like on my car.

 

Do you really need that extra 1cm of width?


Cost to benefit ratio...

 

IROC-ZZ4- I would like to check out your pics.....Where they at??

 

295/35-18 No problem with slight modification

 

Hey that is what I am looking for.....Perfect.
What are the SLIGHT mods that had to be done?

 

click here This is a link to a thread I was involved in some time ago. You can also do a search under reddrocket and see all of the threads I've commented in. Most have been about fitting 18's on a third gen.

 

 

Bah, im not stopping till I fit P315's on my IROC

 

rocc4u you can find tons of pics on my site:

Keep in mind everything is for sale now that im parting it out.

 

Are you selling the super ram?

 

Basset Racing has some 335s on the back of his ride if I'm not mistaken. Hell, with a little more banging you can probably get some 345s back there. That's a whole lotta tire too. I heard now that those come stock on the new vipers that maybe Michelin would be making a 375 or some insane size like that as an upgrade. Probably just a rumor though.
