I want to get new rims and tires soon...but i really want the car to be wide in the back
I was thinking of getting 18 8.5's and 19 10's
But now I really want 19 10's and 20 12's
Is that 12 inch rim going to be too wide for the back...and will the 10 be too much up front and is the tire going to rub
Please don't tell me that it will look stupid though...I just want an answer because i couldnt find it on this site or google
Thanks in advance you guys

You can probably fit a 12 inch rim on the back with a 315, but a 315 will also fit on a 11 inch rim as well.
I have seen 325s fit with a BFH mod but i know 315s will fit for sure its what I run on my car.
I have seen 11 inch rims run on the front but only for auto cross aplications.
As long as you can get the proper backspacing and offset you should have no isses getting them to fit

You might have issues with tramling with the fronts 10" wide, but you can definitely make them fit. Several ppl run 17x11 (315 tire) on front and rear with BFH mod. That being said, the only time I recall seeing a 12" rear with 325 is with a minitub (I believe) otherwise it will take some serious BFH mod to get it to fit.

thanks you guys, i really want to look into it...i'd be happy with really fat rims and tires in the back...i like that beefy look that the corvettes have and i want it on my firechicken
i know i can look it up...but does the bfh mod just involve rolling the fenders? sorry im such a noob

Really bad pic of the width.., and ignore the mis-matched tires.. haha. but I'm running 19x10's in the rear (stock C6 rims) with a 1 1/4" spacer. No rubbing and they look plenty wide!

It wasn't til after my LTs & cam and 376 ft/lbs of torque that I could easily break loose my skinny 245 GY Eagle F1 GS D3s.
Unless you're racing, that's a lot of fun
