ok iv been thinking of puting 295/65/16s in the back of my car will they fit? iv read a few times on here about guys having 295s on the back what exact size tires r u using and any one have any pictures so i can see what a car looks like with those tires in the back ??

 

I have 295/50/16's on the back of my 1LE/B4C, and I used to have the taller 275/55/16's but they rubbed abit.

I know this next statement may sound contradictory, but you car will have to be one that is lowered for these tires to fit, due to the fact that the bump stop location.

Also, the spare tire "bump" on the inside of the passengers wheel well will need to be "modified" or pushed in.

I know there are those individuals out there that will argue some point of my answer.

As far as how it looks, well how does 23" of rubber in the back sound. It looks phuqing awesome. On my cop car you cannot see the top inch or so of the tire.

Pretty sweet in my book.

BTW my B4C cop car is for sale.

 

what tire are you running in those sizes? from what i have found, they look to be truck tires.

 

if you want the offroad stance go for it....use a tire calculator to find out what's right for you. here's one to start.

295/35/18 here....then again i'm not ditch jumping either....

 

lol ya when i seen the 295/65/16s realized those were truck tires just pretty much poped those numbers out of my head but i did notice that bfg makes a 295/65/15inch tire hehe

now that i think about it ditch jumping sounds like alot of fun

 

buy a jeep.

 

jeep??? why would i want one of them ?

 

thirdgens tend to tweak the frame a bit when your ditch jumping back in the woods.

 

lol

little dark but that's it...those were with the z06 wheels i think though. test shots for the chevy high performance article.

 

Why is it that people think that they have to have the biggest tires possible. In my opinion, they look like a monster (truck) car, I am using 245/45/17's and that tire is enough for traction & handling.

 

19's are cool

At least that's what people keep telling me.........

 

lol....that's funny.


i just like how people with smaller rims try to tell themselves they like them. like what you like, let it be. for the record though my 17's outhandle my 16's and my 18's outhandle both and with dr's out hook.

do what makes you happy and leave it at that.

 

All I know is the little 245's weren't enough for my combo, so I went with 275's and then I had to go to 295's.....if I could go any wider I would.....

THAT'S WHY I HAD BIG TIRES IN THE BACK.

 

I completely understand that comment. The 245s I have in the back now sure aren't holding up well to the new motor...
