Rim fitment question

Hey SoCal!

Need some help figuring if how and if these rims would fit.

Here's The link I started on the other board with the info

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/whee...n-fitment.html

A guy states that I should run 10's on all 4 corners. I know a spacer would be needed for the front. Would I need one for the rear if it's a 4th gen axle?

Would it rub up front with the spacer included? I don't want any rubbing or hitting of anything. I'm aware of guys here on the SoCal board running 9.5's up front with no problems i'm assuming.

With wheels, I have no freaking clue! lol!

Thought's?

Thanks!
Adrian

Re: Rim fitment question

I'm using 35mm offset 9.5 wide wheels with a 4th gen diff and they are pretty flushed with the rear quarter panel im assuming a 25mm offset would stick out approximately 1omm more than my current set up. My old 56mm offset 9.5 wide c5 z wheels tucked in with the 295 35 tires

Are your fronts 35mm also? How do they turn? Do they rub @ all? What size spacer do you use?

So with the stops it would prevent your rubbing on the A arm? Did you upgrade your front brakes? And is this the reason for the spacer up front?

I've heard quite a few kats purchasing these brakes. Do you like the set-up? Do you have a pic of them sitting inside the rim?

And I'm aware of the UMI A arms... lol!

Re: Rim fitment question
