      18x10 with a 295?

      Will a 18x10 wheel with a 295 tire fit a stock second gen with no mini tubs that has a 2 inch drop? I know this has probably been asked 100 times but just want to be sure thanks.

      That's what I have on mine exactly. Mine is 3" lower in back. No problems. I will try and find an old pick. Car is on blocks getting a new motor right now

      In fact my next set I'm gonna try 305's because of how much room I have. I run nitto's right now though and they tend to run a bit narrower from my experience. Also I am running a short tire. 295/35/18. Next tire I'm gonna try is 305/40/18. I do have the lip rolled which helps a little.

      We're just talking rear wheels/tires here, right?

      . It's a decent roller, and that's about it, for now. Gotta start somewhere.

      Yeah, that's where I was headed next. I expect most are able to fit a 245-265mm tire without some kind of minor accommodations. I'd love to fit same-size 18x10's with 295's at all four corners on my Mach 1, but I know it will require some work.

      In the front I run 265/35/18 on a 18x9 wheel. I have a large sway bar and it hits at full lock. I also had to make some minor mods to the lip of the wheel well. Overall fits pretty good and could probably do a 275 with a little more massaging. Car is lowered atleast 2" in front if not 3"

      I will look. I should have some. My car is sitting right now without the motor because I'm switching from a 383 to 496 so the ride height is off but I should have some pics saved somewhere. Worst case I will take some pics as it sits now and then post new ones after I get the motor in.

      Not the best pics. Car isn't on the ground and has no motor. I lost my good photos of car running when computer crashed. Anyways. 18x9 front 265/35. 18x10 back 295/35. Need to start a build thread.
