How big can I go?
How big can I go? I'm looking for some help with wheel and tire fitment. I want to know whats the widest wheel/ tire i can fit on the back of my 2000 camaro without mini tubs or destroying my inner fender wells. I'm planning to get a new rear, so I can order it narrowed, but need to know how much. Im also willing to roll my fenders. Basically I want a fat tire deep rim look that's not sticking out from under the fender. I really like the look of the car in the attached pic and want to emulate it.

Narrowing the rear won't really let you run wider wheels, the different back space just makes the wheel dish deeper. As well as opening up some options for wheel selection.
I think some of the mini-tub guys are rocking 15x12 wheels.
The "normal" max that I have seen just from looking on here are:
325 tire on 15x10
lots of people run a 315 tire on a 17x11, but with some extra BFH loving some guys are running 335's

Well my car is being set up for drag racing and I wouldn't be using a 17 inch wheel. I want deep wheel with as much tire as I can possibly run in the stock wheel wells. I want my car to look like the one in the pic.
Wait your car is set up for drag racing but your worried about destroying your inner fender? And big/good looking tire is going to need mods to fit, rolling fenders,big hammer mod etc, depending on what you go with you might need to mess with the bump stops,you dont need a deep dish wheel to run a big tire, honest a 15x10 with a 7.5 will give ya all the tire ya need, but if your getting a rear for sure have it cut down, looks alot better
i know i dont need deep wheels, but i love the look. and as far as the fender wells, id rather minitub b4 hammering away at anything. i just dont like the hacked look. what i want is someone who is running a wide tire deep rim combo, that hasnt minitubbed to chime in and give me some specs. Back spacing, wheel and tire width and height and if they narrowed the rear, how much. i just need to know what the limits are of the stock wells b4 having to bring in "big hammers" or tubbing.
I'm running 20x11 CCW 505a's with a 325/25/20 tire on the back. I had to BFH the inner fenders a bit, but not a lot. The wheels/tires are tucked up nicely and look great. However, my car is not lowered.
