Default Dale Ernhardt Jr. Killer Wheels and MT DR's, Will they fit?

Does any body know if the following will fit a 98 WS6?
1. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Killer Wheels 18x 10 on all 4 with a 41mm offset. Looks like they make a 30mm offset as well.
2. MT Drag Radials P305/35R18 (27 X 12.50R18) or P345/35R18 (28 X 13.50R18) for the back of course.

Also, does anybody know what size tire to run on the front with an 18" rim? If any body has any pictures of this setup it would be awsome.

Thanks,

Been looking at them as the American Racing Rebels seem out of stock !! also looking at the Ruff Racing 278 & 280's

There is loads of conflicting info as to what will and wont fit. Stockists seem to be playing to safe by advising on a 8.5" up front. I have scouted this and other forums and is seems that 9.5" "should be ok" with a 275/35/18..... Rears you have more room to play with.

Going by everything I have read, I'm going for, on all four corners, 18x9.5 with 275/35/18 or 19x9.5 with 275/30/19 and +45mm offset UNLESS SOMEONE TELLS ME DIFFERENT ????

The other issue is they are 5x120mm (BMW) bolt pattern, ours are 5x120.65. you pays your money.......

no way will those 345s fit man!! the 305s imo might be just a tad too big.

I would think an 18x10 would be a little excessive, and heavy, for the front. I think theres a 18x8.5.
I know the 18x10 41 offset will fit the rear, thats the same size and offset of my rear Rebels.

Tim,

Do you have any pics of your car with the rims that you can post other than the one above. I would really like to see a close up or a pic from the back.

Can you tell me the exact wheel sizes and off-set front/rear and the tyre sizes

thanks

Been trying to order the rebels (in black) but they are not in stock and there is no ETA !!!! So been looking at alternatives

I would go with the 8.5" up front not the 10". And i dont know where the hell you got that a 345 would fit...in the car, let alone on that wheel. The 305 is the one you want, and thats almost too big as it is for a 10" wide wheel

OK, so the 345 is out of the questions, sounds like the 305 is the way to go. Will this only require the BFH mod? Any pics of a 345 on a 18" rim?
