Where to look
I got a 91rs with fourthgen disk rear. No tub. And stock front. Is there a staggered set or a website that would work for my purpose? Looking for 18's maybe 19's if price/style is right . Biggest/widest I can go in rear? Thx fellas.

Re: Where to look
I’m not sure what’s the absolute widest that will fit, but I have a 275/35/18 tire on the front, and 275/40/18 in the rear. I’m running 2 inch spacers on the front due to having corvette wheels, but if you get a wheel with the correct offset, you could fit that size without spacers. I also have a 4th gen rear that’s a bit wider, so I can fit those wheels without spacers in the back.
It is a little tight with the 275’s and 9.5’s right now. I thiiiiiink, the widest you can go is about a 295 tire on a 10.5 inch rim in the rear before hammering is required, but don’t quote me on this. You made need to hammer to get those to fit.

Re: Where to look
Buddy that's allot of meat. Looks flawless. I love the black chrome grand sports. But of course that requires mini tub. I was already confused about wheel fitment. But when I got 3.42 fourth gen. I definitely need advice. Love staggered look of five spokes. Don't have money for minitub. Glad to see someone who has really done it

Re: Where to look
From what I understand, you shouldn't need to tub the rear for 275/40/18, especially with the wider 4th gen rear.....of course....wheel offset plays into that, but still. Those dimensions are pretty far from pushing the limits, relatively speaking

....now those 275/40/18 wheels are closer to 26.7" tall, and things get tighter, but should still fit.....albeit maybe with some massaging needed for some.

Re: Where to look
Depending on your offsets and overall diameter, you can fit a 305 tire in the rear without a tub. You will probably need to massage the inner fender though. 285 can fit all four corners.

Re: Where to look
Just remember that gorgeous wheels and a gorgeous car don't mean the two were meant to go together. I'm probably in the minority, but I don't like modern wheels on older cars.
I like a little lip, a little dish, and simpler lines. Again...just opinion.

Can't find any info on the grand sports but the splits are hub size 67.1.
I think the thirdgwn fronts and fourth gen rears are hub size 70.3 so they might be out of the question. But I do love the concave.
I have not found but would love staggered 18" black chrome irocs #drool
