i know a 15x10 is what most everybody uses, and thats what i have now but i was wondering if anybody went with a 12" wheel especially camaro guys.

p.s. i want pics of wheels that fit also if its possable, not something sticking out the sides of the car.

with a 325 i've seen some guys run a 12" wheel. we have a local outlaw mustang that runs a 12" wheel looks good on 325

that was my thoughts my car is mini tubbed with in board coil overs and it really looks like there would be room for it.

ok..it dosnt make the tire much wider mostly pulls the side wall out.. if you ever seen 15x8 and x10 with a 275/50 same difference pretty much. i'm going to switch to a 12" when i do the mini tub and rear

a guy with either screen name BOB or RAMAIR on here has 12" magnums on his TA it took quite alot of frame mods and he had to move the panhard to the front of the rear like a diagonal link on a ladder bar car look him up i know on yellowbullet his name is RAMAIR

We run 15x10s and 15x12s on a TA ... didn't touch the frame or the panhard at all to fit them.

i hate to sound like everyone else but do you have any pics?

I'll have to take one with the 15x12s on it. I have a picture with the 15x10 and 29.5x10.5s on stock wheel tubs. Let me know if you want that picture.

yes i would like to see that pick, i have that combo on my second gen car right now but the back spacing is wrong to see what it would look like on my 4th gen.

I run a 15 x 12 with 5.5 backspace..

It's my understanding that the basic recipe is as follows, I could be wrong though.

15x12 5.5 or 6.0 BS Not sure which one fits the best
Offset lowers
Wolfe adjustable upper spring perches with 2.5 inch coil over springs
Narrowed 3 inches per side
Mini Tub

I don't know of anyone who has gone 3.5 per side but I have heard it can be done without moving the lower control arm bracket

You will have to narrow the control arm bracket to make it work, other then that it will.

I'm going to move to the 12 inch wide wheel, even with the 28x10.5 slick... it will keep the contact patch spread out more and should help with stability at 150+

I do think they look Pimp As Sh*t.

that is basically the set up that i have except for the spring perches. i have coil overs that are mounted inside the frame rails.

Here is the 29.5s on a 10" rim in the stock wheel tubs. Should have the car outside tomorrow so I will try to get a picture of the 12" rims on the car.

15x12 6" BS rim. 315 Radials. Whenever my stock length strange DA shocks sell I plan to drop the car more since there is room. I just won't have any compression in the shocks if it is lowered anymore right now.

JL ws-6

iTrader: (50)

If I didn't know any better you just cut the rear bumper cover to fit that 315 tire... what did you do to get them in there? I'm sure a minitub.. but regardless.... that looks killer.

I wanted to do a 29.5S tire, but thought it was going to have clearance trouble..

From what I'm seeing it doesn't look like it will be an issue.

DMH Fabrication

iTrader: (126)

We ran the 29.5S tires on stock tubs as pictured above with no problems. I stuck a formula bumper cover on it, trimmed that, and cut the metal back that was behind the bumper cover. Didn't touch the front of the quarter panel.

I did end up fab'ing some minitubs up two weeks ago and sticking them in the car. Didn't change anything else though. There was no way the 315 radial was going to fit with the stance I wanted on the car. It still has room to drop it more when the shocks get swapped out.

Keep in mind the minitubs saved some weight so you may still want them for that reason. Don't need them to fit the 29.5S though.

I'm definitely going to minitub, as I want to pull the tires in an inch anyway.

We're going to build a set of lca's with a good bit larger rod end (no aluk bushings needed, as a larger bolt will also be used, and the chassis tabs will get plated to strengthen that up some), and while that's getting done, the phb's getting pulled back so the coilovers can fit behind the rear (still use the phb though, and the tunnel is getting notched out pretty good so I can have lots of clearance there... I want to put the 29.5 tire on and lower the back a good 1.5 inch from where it sat with the 28, go as low as I can before I have to notch the frame is the goal. Lower it sits, the less it's gonna want to stand up.


Raceweight goal, with a 235 lb driver is 2900 with an iron block motor. I get it there and the car will run what I'm looking to do.

I do think, after looking at it that I will go with a 15x12 tire. If I want to run the 275 stuff I will get another set of rims, and just put the tires on those (and probably have to raise the car up one position on the lower shock brackets on the rear)
