Has anyone here ever tried to fit an 18x9.5 w/ 5.5 bs in the rear? How likely would rub be with 35-40 profile tires on this combo? I am also curious about fitting larger than 9.5 rear wheel width, without serious modificiation. Anyone try this out? Thanks

The 35-40 profiles will work with 18x9.5 w/ 5.5 BS. Thats the setup I'm going with.

Adding to the initial question for you guys...will 285/35/18 tires fit on a 67 F-body with an 18x9.5 wheel and 5.5 bs???

Chris,
It would be close and might rub but my 275/40's fit and actually have quite a bit more room than I thought. So I would say yeah they'll probably fit. But, I'de check with MarkM first because he knows alot more about rim/tire combo's than I do.

Chris,
They worked out AWESOME! I just cut the coils and we're putting the new rear-end in today so I haven't set the car down off the jacks yet...I had the rims and tires on it before but the front end sat a little high for my taste so my dad and I cut one coil off of the stock springs. I should have some pics within the next week or so.
Later,
Donnie
P.S. Did you decide on your rims/size yet?
