Default I've never seen, but I heard...

That you could run 10.5's on all corners of the car. I am wanting to see some pictures or even a write-up on it. TomZwheels has a deal on 18x10.5's for 110+ shipping. And I would love to get all four with 305's on them and really gain the traction that i will be losing when I take off my Pro-Kit.

Any info would be great.

Thanks,
P.J.

Would look awsome with the proper front and rear offsets, but there are many other things to factor. I know there is at least one person on here running 315's on all four corners for AX, but IDK if it is at all for the street. One thing to remember is that with bigger front tires on the street, and a F-Body suspension, is the increased tendency for tracking/tramlining without needed modifications/alighnment specs. IMO, if you are serious about running a large front tire on a F-Body, CALL Sam Strano. He IS a F-Body guru and can/will help you. If not hook you up with what you need from what you tell him your goals are for your ride.

Almost forgot to mention. The BIGGEST/MOST DRAMATIC change you can make to your suspension and how your car handles is....... GOOD SHOCKS. And i say this cause you have no mention of what you are running in your post or sig.

it can be done and will look fine. with camaros, youll need a spacer. with TAs, and the right offset, you wont. youll also probably need longer wheel studs to run with the spacer.

Sweet. I think that I'll do that but i'll do some more research on what spacer and studs that I'll need to run that. I think that it will look great on a car with a stock suspension set up.

Thanks guys.

Any pictures?

Sweet. Those look great. I really want to do it more now. Any idea of the offset needed for the front? Thats what I'm looking for really. I knew it was possible but never saw it. Thanks a ton.

camaros need a 50mm offset. pontiacs can run either a 50 or 36mm, 36 being the best for a pontiac. we have more room in the wheel wells then a chevy.

I like this, But I think that he might need to get the camber fixed a little on the LT-1. Now on the LS1 I think that it looks sick. I'm going to try and get 295-305's in the front and do a little but of a BFH mod and get 335's in the rear.

Thanks for all the info.

I dont mean to thread jack but i'm looking to get the same rime set up from tomz wheels as well. My question is If i were just going to run 315s in the back and 275 in the front with a 10.5 inch rim would i run into any problems? Do i need any spacers or offsets or anything like that. Ive been trying to do a bit of research but is till haven't found my answer, if anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

I personally think that 275 is to small for a 10.5 rim. But that might just be me. And when it comes to the backspacing, and spacers, just read all of the thread.
