18's on a 68

[Steve68]

I've done a search on the fourm and I didn't find much, I was wondering what is the biggest size you could run on the front and rear, I got a tire right now 295/35/18, stuffed up in the wheel well, too big, I saw the HELP topic down a little about putting 18" on a 69, good size idea there, but since I haven't mini tubbed "yet", I was thinking 18x9.5 with 5 3/4 back spacing, with a 275/40 18 on the rear, and the front going with a 18x8 with a 245/40/18, has anybody done these sizes yet, or am I way off and should Mini Tub the rear, Just seeing what has been done, I know Mark M and Steevo have done the 18" route, I must say the 18" tire even though it's too big looks good, Steve

here's a quick shot of my pops toy were doing

18x8 - 245-40-18
18x9.5 - 275-40-18

I guess I was right on in the sizes, are you going to lower it more? whats the back spacing of the rears was I close there, Thanks Steve

i'll know once it's fully assembled. I already have 2" springs up front and 3" DES leafs in the back. And you were right on the bs....

I have a 295/35/18 stuffed in there now, but I might have to do some resizing on the inner lip and the wheel well, I like the look of the big tire, see the 18x10 post by streetfighter, I'm not going to do any thing yet, I'm working on the subframe and other stuff right now,
