72 Gto Rim And Tire Combo

[72 GOAT]

I am in the market for a new Rim and tire combo. I will be running the ATS spindels, GW front and rear control arms, GW sway bars and Z06 brakes. can anyone tell me what the 18" rim offset is and the largest tire that can be put on the Goat would be? I would like to keep my inner fenders.
Thanks,
Dave

O.K. it looks like I will be talking to my self in this post. Has anyone seen the new BOZE alloy Pro-touring rim or the Mesh rim, how do you think they would look.

I would like to keep my inner fenders. I know on 68-72 Chevelles, you can fit 9.5" wide front (5.5" B.S.) and 11" wide rear (6.25" B.S.) wheels. Should be the same for a GTO :bananna2:

Derek69SS, Thank you for you reply. Do you know what size tire is the largest tire combo?

[ponchopwr70]

I have a 70 lemans and i just put on 17x8 with 4.75 b.s. 255/45/17 front, and 17x9.5 with 5.5 b.s. 285/40/17. Evreything fits good, there is more room. I have wilwood front disc and stock rear drums.

Do you know what size tire is the largest tire combo?

A 275 or maybe even a 285 will fit in front and a 315 will fit the rear.

Can I still keep the inner fenders?

[Derek69SS]

Yes, but they will limit you to on how low you can get it to sit.

[USAZR1]

Keeping the inner fenders won't be a problem. My 69 still has them and it's really low. Just stay away from ultra-tall front rubber.
My front 275/40/17's are 25.7" tall.

Can anyone please post some pictures of their tire combo's and thank you for your help.
