Another question.

I just got off the phone with DSE and they gave me these specs.

Rear - 315 tire on an 11 rim
backspacing of 5 - 5.25
They suggest narrowing the axle. Do you need to narrow the axle?

front - 8 inch with 4 7/8 spacing

Anyone have any input on the axle question? Thanks for your help!

Jerebus, you don't need to narrow the axle, but Imo if you're running a 315 or 335 tire on an eleven or twelve inch rim the offset required to do so just doesn't look right.

But, it is your car so the desicion is ultimately your own.

I went with the 335/30/18 on an 18x12 Budnik Fontana with 6" of backspace.



You can also go to the Lateral-G homepage to see wheels in similar sizes and backspace installed on cars.

Payton King....

Those BC Forged Wheels....can you get them in a 11" wheel? I only see 10's as high as they go.

Have you put those tires on your camaro yet?
Did you use the DSE minitub kit?

That looks like the way to go?
