If you just trying to run a 245 wide tire, why a 9" rim? A 245 wide tire belongs on an 8. As you can see, a 9 inch rim wants a wider tire to fit well. If a 245 tire up front is what you want to run, use an 8 with our tried and true backspace and a 245/40/18 and call it a day. I thin you could benefit from our guidance... Give us a call.

James,

What back spacing are you running.


Thank you.

Really good to know! Didn't know a 275 was possible on a stock subframe.

I will give you a call. I'm getting a headache from trying to find the perfect combo for my car and I need wheels soon....have to return the wheels that came with the car I recently purchased....15" anyways. I want to run a 305/30/19 in the rear. This is set in stone. I know you're going to say why not run a 325/30/19 but aesthetics is important to me and personally, I think a 325 looks too wide in the rear of a Camaro since they aren't as wide compared to most cars running a 325's like a Z06 or GT2 etc etc. I'm trying to find the perfect front to match the fronts with with the stock subframe.
