Anybody have a 285/40-R18 tire I can use for fitup?
Gonna test my luck and see if anybody has a spare tire sitting around? New/old, it doesn't matter. I just want to use it for mock up so I can measure out wheel specs for my car.
Re: Anybody have a 285/40-R18 tire I can use for fitup?
I had 285/35/18 - 18x10.5 all the way around and just put some 285/40/18's on the rear.
Any measurements I can get for you?
The 35's bolted on no issues, the 40's required breaking out some metal bending tools

Stock 84 rear end with discs.
18x10.5 z06 wheels 58 offset
2" spacers
+7 effective offset with spacers.
~6" backspacing with spacers.
285/40/18 goodyear eagle f1 supercar tires.
Tires barely clear bumpstops at full droop but never hit.
Fenders needed to be rolled mildly with a baseball bat to keep from cutting the tire . I took the rear springs out to check for clearance.
If you modified your bumpstop a 1/4" and pushed the wheels in a 1/4" there would be no problem with the fenders but you would need to whack 2 spots in the inner fender for clearance. No free lunch
