Should be fine i think.

 

pictures? i am always curious! have you picked the rim?

 

With those size rims, you will want a 245 in front and a 275 in the rear! looks a little better.

 

Front 18x8 5" backspacing 245/40/18
Back 18x10 5.75" backspacing 275/40/18

 

I would love 245's in front and 275's in back but i'm not going to roll the fender lips and want to throw some on without issue. I heard that 245's with a front pax rub a little too.

 

That is true, less problems with a little bit smaller tires

 

The 10" rim is a bit more difficult to fit then the 9.5. But will fit.

 

18x8 fronts with 5.0" backspacing and 235 wide tires, 18x9 rears with 5.5" backspacing and 275 wide tires.
Im leaning towards these on TTII's.
or Foose Nitrous 5's 18 by 8.5 5/110 on 235/40/18 front

 

Here are 18x8 (225/40/18) 18x10 (275/35/18)
Boyd Junkyard Dog rims with B.F.G. kdw tires. No modifications
made to the 1/4's they are new and I have about an inch between
the rear lip and the tire. Front will rub very slightly If I have the steering
wheel all the way either way.
Mike

 

love them! love your ride!

 

heres mine on cragar SS 14's - i love them but would like bigger!

 

What about Foose legends or Nitrous
18 by 7 fronts- 235/40/18 4"BS
18 by 9 rears- 255/40/18 5.25" BS
Will this be an issue on stock suspension and original wheel wells?
i can't do 18 by 10 or 275 tires

 

Living proof...

18x8/18x10 combo will fit no problem...just get expert advice like I did.:yes:

18x8 (4.875" b/s) 245/45's
Rears:
18x10 (5.625" b/s) 275/40's

My car is 22.75" from center of wheelwell to the ground in front and 23.75" in the rear.
Not sure how much lower you'd want to go...

John - I luv ya - you know that but Frank is right. That 10" wheel in the back IS MORE DIFFICULT TO FIT. Your car is the exception. You seem to be able to get anything back there with NO drama especially at that ride height. Your car looks great with these wheels on it and it looked great with the AR200Ss. There are more than a few guys on this forum as well as some of the others we frequent that have given up on 275s on 10s or even 275s on 9.5s. We get back to all these cars are a little different and 40 years of wear and tear have not been kind as well as factory or replacement 1/4s. So it is possible to have to MAKE some extra room depending on the car. I'm not trying to contradict you but "1996jeep" you need to check your car real good before you spend your money. Try to test fit at least something close if possible. Keep in mind when the body rolls over curb cuts you will loose clearence. A little touching on the inside is no big deal but on the outside the fender lip will cut the tire. The "all these cars are a little different" usually comes up in the begining an this time it didn't so I just thought it should be said.

 

I had 245/45/17 on a 17x8 rim with 5" backspace and had to shim my steering arms to get them to clear. If you are looking for the lowest stance possible probably 5" works otherwise I'd probably go 4.75 or 4-7/8", if you just want it to fit but aren't planning on lowering it to the dirt.

 

My car is 22.75" from center of wheelwell to the ground in front and 23.75" in the rear.

Hmm, interesting that John from Driverzinc spec'd both our Rushforths but did 5" on mine and 4 7/8" on yours, must have been a reason. I bet its because your car is yellow

 

100% agreed Jack...my car must be a freak or something,lol.
I know mine's been worked some but my point is they can be made to fit and while looking completely stock...heck,I still got room!
Don't laugh but I know I can get 285/40's to fit as well...just watch me.:yes:

BigBlock1969RS,
5" works well,mine are just a hair further outward @ 4.875".

UUrrrrrrrrrr..................

 

heres what i was thinking, Foose Nitrous 18"-- front 18by8.5//rear 18by10

Also- do you guys like when there are two different staggerd rims such as 18's or 20's in rear and 17 in front or leave them the same size????

 

18 and 20s can cause some problems. For example you may find a 20' / 18" combo in wheels you like only to find out there is no match pair of fronts and rears tires with good aspect ratios.

The single biggest mistake one makes when doing wheel / tire set ups is screwing up the overall height / sidewall. Say for example you choose a 20" wheel and a 27" tall tire for the rear on a 10" wheel with 3" of lip.

Now on the front you do a 18" wheel. You need a 25" or less tire for the front. If you go taller then 25", say 26", the front tire wheel package will look taller then the rear, even if the package is actually a inch shorter. Add to that the more shallow lip on the front tire that already is going to make the front tire look taller then the rear, and you have a really bad look.

So now the trick with 20s and 18 is finding a brand that has the sizes you need for front and rear. And when you do find them, you may find they are only available in really expensive brands. For example PS2s are pretty complete in these sizes, but hella expensive!

I could go on and on, and type my fingers off, but I talk much better then I type. So here is where we end up talking on the phone, figuring out what look / stance / budget / style you are into and do some searching to put a package together.
