I think somebody was asking about 285/40s awhile back.
I am playing around with my corvette wheels and came up with this.
Frame clearance on the inside at the closest point is 1/4"
Offset on the wheels with the 2" spacers is 1/4" negative.
So basically the wheels are 17x9.5 with 1/4" negative offset.
Also, I have aluminum drums.
275/40/17 on 9.5" rim
285/40/17 on a 9.5" rim
"is there clearnce to lower it a couple inches"
his response
Yes, It will come down.
No problem on the rear.
No problem on the front either but at the expence of hitting the upper control arms when the wheels are turned sharp.
I have the front wheels set in alot further than the backs.
The wheels are the same but I used 1.25" spacers on the front and 2" on the back.
No way to put a 9.5" wheel on the front without having some type of problem. I chose to loose turning radius on order to keep them from hitting the outer fender.
that help?
