17 x 11 rear rim / tire questions.

[protour73]

Same size as listed above; 17x11s.

DUDE!!!! how frickin long are those U-Bolts for those springs????? DAAYYYAMM!!!!

Did SnapOn make a special DEEP-DEEPwell socket for you??? Are those pics for the IMAX theater version of NastyZ28???? LOL

ohhhh, back to the 17"x11" question...... without any mods, you shoud be able to run 17x9.5 (5.5" b/s) at the very minimum a 285/40-17. Mary Pozzi and Musclecarjohn are running this with NO probs.

I am going to try to run a 17"x10.5" rear with 6.8" backspace (with spacers).
stuck with that, because of the wheels I chose.

Hello,

Sounds like it is a must to modify the rear wheel opening lip to run the 17x11's.

Can I run the 17x9.5's without modifing my wheel opening?

yes 17x9.5 5.5 bs
285x40x17 fits perfect

Here's a shot of my 18x10" with 5.75 BS. I'm running a 285/40. They fit with no mods to the fender lip but we did trim the lip slightly because additional lowering is coming in the future.

Chris, those are some awesome wheels! what are they?

17x11's with 315's - must modify rear wheel opening - stock suspension.

17x9.5's with 285's - do not have to modify rear wheel opening - stock suspension.



Are the above statements true ?


I've seen posts and replys claiming yes and no to both claims.

Please help to clarify.

Thanks.

The best answer I can give is for you to measure your car...when you get a tire/rim combo that is that tight of a fit within the wheelwell, you need to measure...some might fit and some may not, it's due to small differences in our car's sheet metal. If in doubt...check it out.

LOL! I was gonna resize them... but I was lazy.
And actually, that's bigger than life size... My exhaust is 2.5" diameter...
