  • would a 235/55/18 work?

    i was wonder if i could fit a 235/55/18 on my 94 camaro, without any rubbing? im going to put some new wheels on it, and i have a set of eagle rsa's that i took off a customers car at work, and i would like to use them, and put a set of 18's on my car, but im not sure if a 55 seires will be to big and might have some rubbing issues. anyone run this size before? thanks for any help that someone can give me.

    I put 275's on all 4 corners and they don't rub. I don't see how 235's will. Even though they are on 18" rims, it will just lift the car up more than the 16" would. You shouldn't have any issues with the 235's.

        "I put 275's on all 4 corners and they don't rub. I don't see how 235's will."

        275/40-17, right? Your tires are about 25-3/4
        inches in diameter. His would be about 28-1/4 inches. They're going to be a lot higher in the fender well, which is no doubt curved in at the top.

        I'd be surprised if they fit. And they're going to pick up the car more than an inch, which will look funny and raise the center of gravity.

        The last nail in the coffin is that they're rsas.
