I got a set of C6 staggered for my '88 Bird, no tires yet, but wanted to know if the rear 19x10's would fit up front. If they would fit I may pick up a couple more rears, car will be dropped 2" also. Later.

I dont think it will fit very well. Id stick with 18x8.5 up front.

you can put them on the front, though they will have to stick out a bit more and you may loose some steering angle. A wide tire on the front will also track on the road and make the car a handful to drive as a DD on public roads. 9.5 is the max people seem to put on a 3rd gen.

I have seen 11's on the front, but with fender mods and im sure steering issues.

you will have steering issues and require a spacer thats near 3 inches long I have 19x10's on the rear and when i tryed to fit them on the front, it would be a very tight fit.

you may beable to get away with proper spacer size and a skinny 275 tire. i run 295's so it just aint gonna happen without sacrificing lots of clearance. On turns ona lowered car you'd bottom the fender out on the tire

Hey guys,
I have 10x18 with 285/35/18 front and rear and they fit.
Iīm in process of lowering my car right now with an Eibach Sportline Kit and Koni yellow Shocks. Lowering Front 1,6" and rear 1,3".
I think itīs finished tomorrow, then I can tell you if they fit right, or rub somewhere. I can take pics if required???

So if you want to use 19" you only have to use 275 or 285/30/19, this will be the same tire amount than 285/35/18.

I've actually wondered the same thing for quite awhile. However, I've just been too lazy to try and fit the rears on the front. Ideally, I'd like to run a 285 all around.

PLease post some pics, would love to see. thanks!

Hi,
I can post pics next weekend, because of much work.
But they will come.

Ok it took me a little longer, but finally its done.

Yes they rub the inner fender, to clear that, you have to make the steering angle a little bit smaller.

Let me know what you think, here we go...

Those wheels look nice,what brand are they,what backspacing and size spacers did you use?

These are American Racing wheels (special edition "Dale Earnhard jr") called Killer Chrome
they are 10x18 with +41 offset and I use 30mm spacers front and rear.

so for the wider wheels you sacrificed turning radius? not sure i would go for that. they do look sweet though

Yes I have to, itīs not much, really 1/4inch perhaps.
Its not a daily driver, only weekends when itīs not raining.
And here it rains a lot
The car is insuranced from April to October, since April I drove it 400mls...

You understand the steering angle is not important for me!

Nice. Later.
