Re: 315/35WR17 on back

if your running a 4th gen rear you should need no spacers. if you have a 3rd gen rear i am running a 1.5 inch spacer if that helps. 17 by 9.5 front offset is 54mm with 2in spacer and 18 by 10.5 rear is 58mm offset with 1.5. im also running 305's in rear 275's up front.

There are several threads here with the info you want. That banned Stephen did 11" with 7" BS, there's a couple of blue IROC-Zs with this setup..
Replica Alloys makes them, in the '95 ZR1 style, for like $125 each.

How do the 305s fit in the rear? and what is done to the inside of your wheel wells, if you dont mind me asking.

Plenty, have yet to have issues. My problem is the fender lip. When I roll them there will be no issues.

That is one nice car right there, and a really good example of the offset.
