Default 12 Inch Wide?

Could it be done with a factory length rear end? What kind of offset would it have to be?

A few people have successfully put a Z06 19x12 on the stock rear with a 345 tire and they have a 59mm offset...

I know I only have 11" wide wheels and the T/A fenders are a bit different than the Camaro's, but my fenders sill barely cut into my sidewalls (not rolled yet).

notes-i am running narrow 315's (sumi's), lowered, 11" wide and fenders are not rolled, inside of fender is pretty close, rubs the bumpstop at full drop.

I would love to get 335's or so to fit.

Doug on MOfbody has 335's on the back of his T/A with a 10.5" wheel.


Just some random thoughts that I thought I would share.

This guy put 345's on with a stock rear. BFH'd and rolled fender lips. Claims that he doesn't have any rubbing issues.

I have 315's, GS-DS3 which are wider than most. When I had the stock axle i had rubbing issues. I rolled the fender lips, pounded in the inner fender well, narrowed bumps stops, and an adjustable PHB. On hard cornering I would get rubbing. This was on 1.25" lowering springs.

I'm running 325's on the back of my 11 inch wide wheel and all I had to do was some BFH'ing. Car is not lowered yet.

Yes you can if you have the appropriate offset. It will poke out slightly though. I do not rub at all and I have 9" Eibach ERS springs with a 175 spring rate BUT I have 305 25 20 tires (a little more tire stretch than I'd like to have at the moment but I didn't want to throw out brand new tires for meatier ones).

I also would love to run a 19x12 like this guy....
http://www.ls1.com/forums/f53/finaly...-today-145169/
but then again id settle for a 19x10.
I know for a fact he would still rub.
Rubbing is annoying.
