1970 Duster, Trans-Am-inspired "Pro Touring" build

Thanks!

I really want to run a 275/35R18 all the way around, but am struggling to find a wheel that works and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. And even with the right offset, sounds like a 275 takes a little work. Not opposed to messing with it, just easier if I don't have to.

If I am honest with myself, the rear has to have a 275 (or bigger) tire, the current 245 just looks too small proportionally back there (IMO), but the front would probably be fine with a 245/40R18 or the 255/40R18 you are running. And if they fit on a 18x9 +24mm wheel, that costs half what I am seeing for an 18x9 +35mm wheel, all the better.

Besides, part of the reason I want to run a square setup is so I can rotate the tires. But there is a good probability that the rear wheel will end up with a different offset which pretty much negates the idea anyway.

I think @72bluNblu is running 275-wide fronts on his car, I believe he's using thin (1/4" or less) wheel spacers on "standard"-offset wheels to make it work.

I got my wheels from here: Home - I don't think they're actual legit OEM replacement wheels but the quality is good. Not as good as more expensive wheels and they're probably on the heavy side and surely made overseas but if you want affordable there aren't a ton of options. Mine are FR500 style for 1994-2004 Mustangs. Just had to take the fronts to a machine shop to have the center hub registers bored out to fit over my '73-up disc brake hubs. Rears fit fine with just some minor trimming of the hub registering "lip" using a dremel.
