  • Wheels Size After Lowering

    <img src="graemlins/toto.gif" border="0" alt= /> It was lowering about 1.5" front & rear (Eibach Pro Kit). My frist choice is RIMES - Z06 - 18x9.5 & TIRES - 275/35ZR18. The idea is remove the gap between tire and fender and making a smooth visual body-wheels.
    Pictures are welcome if someone come up already with that idea. <img src="graemlins/toto.gif" border="0">

    That'll work good, maybe 18x10.5 rear rims w/ 295-40's will work to reduce ur rear wheel gap even more.

        skam, urs are 17's tho, not 18's, and ur tires are 25.66" tall, stock are 26.11" tall, the smaller height might give u more room to run those 315 width tires w/o any rub. I'd like to see somebody do some mini-tubbing and do 18x13 rims and 335-35-18 tires.

            mini-tubbing, and rolling the fenders out 1/2-1" would do the trick, if you got custom backspacing on the rims.

              [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] Thanks guys...also I was checking the CALCULATOR as Arctc Wolf pointed out. That tires' size come already on the wheels set. So, the better idea is buy them separate.
              Now the question is: how far can Tire Diameter go to get smooth with fender? It means to remove the gap.

                So are you saying you want a taller total tire height to fill in more gap without lowering the car and running 18s?

                Run the vette rear size of P275/40R18... theyre 27" tall and will slow you a little but will fill it in more.


                btw... Beautiful Camaro you got there [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] :cool:

                  yea, those will remove a lot of fender gap, but he's also lookin at lowering it. I think he wants less fender gap on the sides too.

                    Due to the negative offset on my 18" wheels, I had to go with 255-35-18" tires. [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

                      [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Yes, Dominic

                      It is already lowered (Eibach Pro-Kit) I'm not sure, but I thing the Kit Droped about 1.5"

                      I want to buy everthing through the Internet. That's why I'm concern.

                      I guess that everybody is thinking the some: Rime Z06 and Tire 275/40ZR18 Front & Rear.

                      Once again Thanks a lot .
