1st Gen 18x10??

[Joe_Rocket]

I am running a 18x9.5 Zenetti Fives with a 275/40/18 on the rear of my 69. The wheels have a 15mm offset which equates to a hair more than 5.75 BS in my case. I ran a 1/4" spacer.

I am still in the middle of swapping from stock drum to LS1 disks. I measured a 1/8" increase in thickness when comparing the disk to drums.

There sure isn't much room in the stock wheel well. I have about a fingers width each side of the wheel. Though the lip is not rolled yet.



I plan on mini-tubbing one of these days... I don't see how people run these sizes stock. Even with my old skinny wheels and tires, I'd rub the inner well, when going at an angle into a driveway.

Anyhow, remember that going a wider rim, will give you less tire protection on your wheel's lip as the sidewalls straighten out. My tires even have that lip protector bulge in the sidewall, and I don't think that's enough.
