Then how would 18x10.5 on all corners with these tires? Cars mainly just a summer cruiser till next year when I do the engine swap.

295's would be just fine on a 10.5" wheel.

I have the same wheels for the ta but haven't put tires on them yet. looking at a 305/18 in the rear and 275/17 in the front to clear my slammed car. I am running stock brakes at the moment but may try to upgrade to the larger vette brakes later.

Too tall with a 295/40/18

Do you have any pictures showing how far the tires stick out? Also are you lowered at all?

Realized that I made a mistake here. I did originally use the 2.5" long ARP studs all the way around, but when I started to run the 3/4" spacers I swapped the fronts to 3.5" long. With that big a spacer there were a few threads showing inside the nut which I didn't like. I did run them for a few events with the Hoosiers until I was able to get the longer ones but I did make sure to check torque after every session (3 runs).

Also I do still have the extra pair 3/4" spacers if anyone wants them.

Do you have a part number for the lug nuts, having trouble finding them. Not finding any 1.38",I guess 1.75" would be fine? I have found them in 12X1.5 http://www.rocketracingwheels.com/bu...d-lock-kit/p30

I got them on yesterday with this set up and it's all good, drove it hard and no clearance issues.
I can't say I'm impressed with the Rocket lug nuts though, the locking lugs didn't work. We tried the first two and the threads stripped out of the nuts at no more than about 50lbs so I used 4 of my old lug nuts in their place and will have to get a different set of locking lugs.

maybe they sent you the wrong locking lug nuts

I dunno but they are getting sent back with a note.
They have numbers on the locking nuts 552-1/2-20,came in a kit- Item# C21705BS. 12mm 1.50 Standard install kit (16 Bulge 3/4" Lugs,4 Locks & 4 Chrome V-Stems) Direct from Rocket Racing.

Well anyways the 275's & 315's look great on the car.

y2keglide

iTrader: (2)

No spacers on the front.

put 20mm on at least

How do you run a 18x10.5 +56 offset with 315 tire on the front with no spacer???

OEM speedlines and or replicas aren't even close to fitting on my car. Wheel will hit the spindle...

dojob

front isn't that spec

275/35/18 up front on a 18x9.5 it looks like

Why is that? It does rub just a tiny bit if I turn real sharp but it hasn't been a real problem. Would I need longer studs on the front with 20mm spacers?
Will the car handle any better?
