Buying a new rear and new set of wheels (18s) and I'd like to go as wide as I can in the rear without having to mini tub/move the spring mounts. Rolling the fenders and BFH modding is okay though. Would prefer not to move the LCA mounts, but it's a possibility. Would be willing to narrow the rear a bit if needed. Mainly don't want it to rub.

So what's the widest wheel we can run in back without minitubbing or moving the suspension. Thanks.

10.5" w/ a 295/35ZR18 with the right offset most like no mods at all.

Or a 11" w/ a 315/30ZR18 Minor BFH and possibly roll the quarter lip if you are lowered.

i went with 10.5 rim and 295x35 bfg ta with a 7/16 spacer needed a little BFH mod for tight turns in just one spot. the tire isnt all the way flush becaus I had it like that and when I have someone in the back and hit a bump the fender would hit the tire. < maybe because of my prokit, I dont know

would like to put a stock corvette wheel on my 99 z28 but dont want to do any bfh or any other modifications. is there a stock vette wheel that i can use? i dont plan on lowering car but if i did it would be only 2in. thanks, shawn

Yea stock Vette wheels are fine, as they are not 11" wide A huge number of guys here on the board and out on the streets put the wheels on there cars, use a spacer because the offsets are usually for Vettes, not F Bods.

I'm running 10.5" C5 z06 wheels at the rear w/o any BFH mod or spacers. 53 mm offset is the magic number.

I am running a 17x11 ZR1 wheel with Nitto 555r 315/35/17 without any modifications, stock height, and they fit nicely! Now if I lower the car, that may suck!

Hint. If you can only find a good deal on 58mm 10.5 rears a 1/4 inch spacer puts you around that magic number.

What's the main limitiation on wheel width? To say going with a 12" wheel?

Since I'm getting a new rear end fabricated, Narrowing it by an inch and moving the lcas in a bit isn't that big of an issue. Just would rather not modify the spring/shock geometry.

Would a mini tub to just before the suspension parts do the trick? Along with moving the lcas in a bit?

I have 12" wheels on my car.

And how'd you accomplish it? How is the fitment? Does it rub at all on hard cornering or bumps?
