295 and 275 wheel question... - Lateral-g Forums

Pasquale · #1 05-25-2011, 08:57 PM

Hey guys,

I have mini tubbed my 69 camaro and am going to run 295 in the back. will a 295 work in the front? and will that look like to big of a tire?

Also, if that's the case, i was going to run a 275 in the front, but would like to have the same size wheel for all four tires, a 10x18 or a 10.5x18. Will the 275 look noticeably different on the same rim as a 295?

Any advice will help, thank you

Biggest you can get up front is a 275. 9.5" wheel with 5.5" backspace works best.

Hey TrackJunky, would that be with a stock sub-frame?
Thanks.

Guess I should have specified. Yes, stock subframe.

EDIT: I should probably clarify, for a 275 up front on a stock subframe you will need to cut portions of your wheel well out. Depending on how low you go you may also have to roll fender lips. In my case I rub frame rail loc-to loc but not enough to be an issue.

Hope that helps.

Do you have any pictures or details on how the wheel wells had to be cut?

Dont have any pic's but IIRC you cut about 10" deep starting from the rear opening to about 12" from the front opening. Best way to find out what needs to be removed is to install the tire and wheel and then turn your steering wheel.
