Tyre Combo for 18x8 ( Front and Rear )

(1/4) > >>

69CVET:
Hi All,

Looking at a upgrade from the Standard 15x8 Wheels to 18x8 on a 73 & 77

Is anyone running 245s on the Front without any modifications ?
What is the max size on the rear with Standard Trailing Arms & Calipers
A lot of reading on USA forums and still no clearer .....

All feedback is welcomed

rosco:
18x8 with zero offset 4 " back space, 245 x 45 on front and 275 x 40 on the rear no problems with anything.
Stu is running this set up but his rears are 255 x 45.
I think Warren is running the above combo.

Thanks guys.

Rims will be 18x8 ( 4.5" back space with Zero Offset now confirmed )

Now will do the homework on the tyres to ensure no issues with clearance etc....

How can the rims be 8" wide 4.5" backspace and zero offset.

Sounds like something is not correct,

To be zero offset on an 8" rim it needs to be 4" backspace..

As for size I run 245/45/18 with no rubbing and lowered susp3nsion.
