Default YEAR ONE Billet Snowflakes Fitment (NEED HELP)

I have a stock length rear end on my 4th gen TA. The car is mini-tubbed and the fenders have been rolled.

http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/f...EW7639&Style=2

Will the 18x12 (rear) fit?
Or the 17x12 (rear)?
18x12 and the 17x12 I'm sure will fit with the right offset. I think 7 1/2 or 8 1/2.... Do I need to shorten my rear end an inch on each side? I'd really like the 18x12 to fit in the rear on a nice 335 or 345.

I realize you're not with the car right now, but diameter has nothing to do with the fitment.. it's all about width and offset.

In your case, you (or someone) needs to do some measuring.

Will the 20x12 (rear) fit?
Or the 19x12 (rear)?

I'd really like the 20x12 or atleast the 19x12 to fit in the rear on a nice 335 or 345. And I'd do the fronts 1 inch narrower in the front by 9 inches. I need some help.

So, what was your point?

I would think they would correctly fit. A guy on here has 17x12s with 335s and his car isn't mini tubbed.

By the way, those wheels are amazing. We're going with 18x11 and 17x9.5 setup on my Mom's '78 Firebird Pro-Touring project.

If you have at least 1" more depth from the mini tubs, then a +75mm offset should work good.

Those are around $999 / wheel. Ouch...

I'd love to see them on a 4th gen car though.

Those rims look great, but I could think of 1,000 different ways to spend that kind of money......

I'll hazard a guess and say around 8-9"..............




(just for reference, I have 17X9.5" rims with 7.125" BS on my car, stock wheel wells)

on a 18x12 i would go 8.5" BS MINIMUM. To fully tuck (17x11's don't usually) then i would think you would need a little more BS, but I would also assume at that point you would be getting close to the control arm.
