Quick question. Anyone ever run in to problems running a 275/40 18" tire in the rear on a 4th gen with drum brakes in the back? I dont care about the speedo being off by 2%, I just dont want the **** messing up. The wheels are factory GM 1999 Corvette 5 spokes.. They got like a stock 61mm offset in the rear or something like that.

nice choice of wheels. i put those on my car recently and had problems with the wheel rubbing even after hammering like a mad man. 1/4 spacers fixed the problem.----------------<br />1998 Camaro 3800 Series II, 5 SPD.<br />MODS: C5 Rims, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sony Xplode MP3 Deck and 2 10\" .

you would be safer going with a 285/35/18 tire. Almost 1" less in tire height.Eclipse 8443, CDT ES-620s in doors (Clarion APX401.2), IEK, CDT 6X in rear(HU), Image Dynamics ID10v.3D.4 in stealthbox(Clarion DPX1001.2)<br /><a href=\"http://www.sounddomain.com/id/larryfirebird33\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.sounddomain.com/id/larryfirebird33</a><br />borla cat-back, FTRA, whisper lidComment

I have 98 Vette wheels on my car. I have no rubbing out back, even with lowered suspension too. And they are the stock vette 275/40/18 tire size.AIM: Alientr8tr<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/583450\" target=\"_blank\">1998 Camaro 3.8L</a><br />Flowmaster 80-series, !FRA, Eibach Springs, KYB AGX, SLP sway bars, 3.42/LSD, Wings West kit, Z06 Motorsports, Silverstone Metallic paint<br /><a href=\"http://www.shift5.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Shift 5</a> - My BandComment

remeber that 275/40R18s are taller than stock by a good margin and will throw off your speedo considerably.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Only 3% faster -- not much at all. So when I'm doing 100 I'll actually be doing 103.. hahaMustangs.. Come to the darkside...<br /><br />The dark side is the path to the shadow of greed. =DComment

P275/35R18 = 79mph, this is what your gauge reads
P275/40R18 = 83mph, what you're actually doing
IMO thats a lot. 4mph off? Think about that... Thats 5% off. Meaning when your gauge cluster reads 60,000 miles, you've actually gone 63000.
Don't do that, its just stupid.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro
