got a line on a set of 18'"s with new tires and am wondering if they will fit my 91' z without too much modding. they are 18x7.5 with 245x40zr. whatcha think? what should be the proper backspace be?
245?!?! thats a hella wide tire. i'm pretty certain that your tires are definately gonna rub. 18x8 rims wold fit with 215/35/17 tires. I don't even thing 18.5 would work very well unless you got the offset exactly perfect.
the bolt pattern is 5x100 with a offset of 40 mm. these rims are comming off of a fiero. they also have the same bolt pattern. i was more concerned with the tire size and rubbing. i do not plan on lowering the car.
you're all correct. the tires are way too wide. i just got done trying the tires from my fiero(215/65/15)and they were too big(tall&wide). guess i'm just sticking to stock rims and tires for now. thanks all!
