fronts should fit. you will have to roll the rear dramatically. i suggest Cut the lip off of the rear fenders where the tire would contact. I cut mine but left as much of the lip as possible for structure purposes. I removed about 1/4". Rolling fenders aggresively may/ will crack the paint. but even then a 25mm offset may not fit. I had 35mm of set on my previous rear rims (18x9.5 rims and 275/35/18 tire) and it rubbed. But then again my car is slammed. As for tires (since its a 25mm offset) you gotta go with the skinniest tire possible (maybe a 275/30/19) . I would suggest nothing wider than the rim width itself. stretched tires would be best but will look funny on a muscle car. IMO I wouldnt run a 25mm offset. 35mm is pushing it already. Hope this helps.

the lower the number the farther out they stick out. I would say 35mm max. our cars stock rims are about 54mm or something close. because you are planning to run a lower offset and fatter rims, the measurements change both ways. If you are gonna run a 19x10 rear rim, there is a possiblity it still not fit. you may have to do a fender mod. since the offset it lower you shouldnt have to run a spacer since the rims are being pushed outwards. If your car is stock height it should fit (dont quote me though as i am not 100% sure). what wheels you thinking of getting?

it is a secret, no one has them on an Fbody.
If i shorten the rearend at all, is there any way i can do a calculation to get them perfect?
Like say 2" on each side of 1". how would i even go about doing this?
edit: lowered on Koni/Stranos.

Cool. you must post pics if you get them. lol
as for shortening the rear end, if you do that you should be able to fit a 25 for sure. I myself, am not sure exactly to figure it out but my friend does. i can ask him and get back to you. the only problem though is he is on vacation and wont be coming back til after the holidays. Ill keep in touch if no else knows on tech. PM me if you dont find out by then. there must be a post on offsets/ setups
