  • Poll: How wide are your wheels?

    I was looking at this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43957

    11" Seems pretty wide but just out of interest... How wide are YOUR wheels?

      17x9.5 x 4 here.

      17x11 look very nice from the rear, but 315/35 tires are very limited in choice and expensive compared to 275/40

      There's also the factors of not being able to rotate and the need to massage the wheel well to prevent rubbing.

            You CAN fit a 10...11" wide rim on a f-body without much hammering if any to the wheel well -- BUT it will NOT be a cheap pair of wheels. Their offset will be INSANE.

                Insane offset = bad for axle or something or just.. different? I'm ignorant on this obviously.

                  17x9.5

                  There really is a pretty big selection for 275/40/17 tires, so it keeps cost down a little.

                          11 sounds pretty big. you might get more help in suspension.

                              those wheels are SICK though...you should ask them what the price would be for 4 fronts (if they'd sell them that way)
