Arrow biggest tires

General question but I've been wondering this for quite some time...whats the biggest tire that could fit in the 93-97 fbody fender wells without rubbing...I was guestimating a 275? 285?

would a 18 x 9.5"- 65mm fit?

maybe a 18 x 10.5"- 54mm?


thanks fellas

Tons of people get 315s to fit on 17 x 11s, some modification to the fenderwell sometimes required. Not sure about 18s, there definately aren't as many.

holy ****.


I always thought the whole "hammer mod" to the fender wells would kill me...pounding the **** out of my own car with a hammer...AHH!


But stock wise...a 17'' or 18'' x 10.5, I shouldnt have any problems right?


And thanks Hoss nice camaro!

That should fit fine, as long as the offset is good. Talk to a wheel sponser to find out what offset works with that wheel size...

It's just the inner fender well. Don't be afraid to give it beating. Think of it as you're giving your car a "massage" just with a hammer.
