Ok, here’s the scoop. I like to plan ahead. This winter I’ll be getting some tires and wheels. I’ve decided to go with some AZA Z-1’s and the come in the following sizes. 18x7.5 and 18x8.5. I have decided to put the 7.5’s in the front and the 8.5’s in the rear. I have a ’04 with stock suspension and do not plan to lower the car so my question is this.
How wide can I go on the rear tire without having make any body mods (going to buy BFG G-Force T/A KDW’s)?
For the front I’m going with a 225/40 R18 (25.1” overall)
For the rear I have the following options:
255/35 R18 (25” overall)
255/40 R18 (26” overall)
One last thing, the stock over dim is 25.7”. Will going to a 25.1” in the front and a 25” or 26” in the rear screw with my speedo too much?
Any help would be great.

You can use this gear/tire MPH calculator to find out exactly how much it will throw off your speedo.

On the F bodies if the front and rear tires were different diameters it activated the ABS under moderate braking because the tires were rotating at different speeds. Anyone know about the goat?
