wheel question for ya guys. does anyone happen to know if therre are any 10 inch wide wheels that will fit an 08 impala ss. i was lookin for wider wheels so i can put some drag radials on for when i got to the track. thansk

 

What size drag radials are you planning to run?

I'm wanting to use a 255/50/16 on stock Grand Prix wheels, I've seen a member with a MCSS with that set up on here.

 

i was lookin at puttin somethin lik 275/35/18's on. i was looking at the bfgoodrich streetable drag radials, and i liked em haha.

 

Are you heavily modded? That much tire might be a little much.

Mixerda on this site ran 245/45/18 Mickey Thomson DR's with no traction issues.

*edit*
I have 18x8.5" ASA JH8's which run about $100 each from tire rack. It should be able to handle a 275mm tire.

 

A 16 would make for some worse handling I would assume.

 

I highly doubt handling is of any consideration, since he's wanting to run drag radials. Not to mention a 50 series sidewall > 35 series for drag racing.

 

I seriously doubt you'd be able to get a 10" wheel to fit our cars.


Well, it might fit, but don't plan on driving the car.

 

ya that was my main worry haha. do the asa jh8s, the 8.5 inch wide ones fit fine, or is there rub?

 

I don't rub with mine, but I'm running OEM size tires.


Edit. Rossko is running 275/40/18's on the front of his GXP with no rubbing, but the GXP's seems to have wider fenders.
