So 91 firebird stock spec. suspension and brakes.. (front disk rear drums)

Ok for the front I want to run a 19x9.5 rim with an offset option of either 22 33 or 43

And for the rear 19x11 rim with an offset of either 25 or 33

Basically I need to know...

A. What offset should I use for the front and for the rear without the wheels sticking out past my fenders.. I want them flush and I'd rather have them in a bit and have to run spacers to get them flush then have them out too far..

B. What size wheels could I throw on these rims that will allow them to fit still...


They are the avant garde m310 rims just incase your wondering lol

 

you will need atleast a 1-1.5in spacer for both the front and rear with the 22/25 offsets

personally i think a 19x11 is overkill... why not just do 19x9.5 all the way around with 285/30/19 tires?

 

I'm going to add that 19" is an oddball size for tires - much more is available in 18" or even 20". Keep in mind that a 19" wheel with an OEM height tire is going to have only 2.25" of actual sidewall, not something smart for roads in the northern states. Not to mention that any brake kit under 14" is going to look rediculously small (if you are into the looks part).

That being said, a 0 offset (or 5.25" BS) will bring the edge of a 9.5" wheel with a 275 tire right to the edge of the fender well on all 4 corners. If you were to get the 33mm and a 1" spacer, it would tuck in about 1/3".

 

Sorry Paul, but most of the truly extreme performance tires, like the Michelin Pilot sport Cup and the Pirelli P Zero Corsa, are mostly 19" fitments. I hereby sentence you to 77.7 hours of studying www.tirerack.com.

 

LOL

I should clarify - 19" tires with a diameter of 25.75" or so to mimic what came from GM on the 3rd gens. Majority of the 19" tires are taller (which makes the sidewall more tolerable)...

Who the F runs Pilot Sport Cups or P Zero Corsas on a 3rd gen?
