I run a 275/40 on an 18x9.5 with relocated springs and stock tubs. Its a tight fit. I don't have a stock rear end, so I'm working on eliminating the rubbing I have.

Obviously, hubcentric spacers would be better, but since the wheels are not hubcentric, would that even make a difference? I'm wondering how much I actually need. 1/8" doesn't seem like much, but I'm wondering if I even have 1/4" to give on the outside edge. I guess I'll need to check the...

My car was damaged while in the shop over the summer so I wasn't able to drive the car until recently. Turns out, my tires rub in the back. I suppose I need some kind of spacer, but I'm not sure how thick and where to look. What should I be looking for; I've never used spacers before and I...

My front wheels and tires should be here next Wednesday. I can't wait!

The back wheels came in. It might be a little tight on the inside edge, but I won't know for sure until I get some tires on it.

I remember looking at their website and seeing that; it has to be a misprint.

I think I'm going to go ahead and order the 18x9.5s here real soon and then wait to order the 17x8s and the tires when the back wheels ship (4 to 6 weeks).

I found a website called tirebuyer.com. For the tires I picked, shipping is free and they have a list of installers that you can pick from and it lists their installation prices. Discount Tire isn't one of them, but places like AAA, Goodyear Auto Service Center and smaller local chains are...

I love that stance. If I could get mine to sit just like that I'd be happy. I called and talked to the guy at Discount Tire yesterday. After telling him I wasn't comfortable with his recommendations, he made some excuses and then said that he could take some more detailed measurements (what...

That program would have saved me a little time. I have a sketch pad sitting here at my desk with almost identical diagrams drawn out. I'm pretty sure my rear axle isn't a factory 8.75, but its pretty close. I guess the only thing I'm concerned with at this point is will a 275 still allow me...

Here is the situation in the rear. This is a shot of the driver side: Here is the best shot of the inside edge I could get (that's a small wire brush): There is even less clearance on the inside of the passenger side (not a whole lot, but I couldn't get the brush in there vertically)...

Thanks for setting me straight (I think). I had to make a couple drawings and sketch everything out so it would make sense to me. The TTII in an 18x9.5 isn't offered in a 4.75 backspace. There is a 5.00, but the only thing that would help me on the tub side would be the slightly narrower...

I assume that it is, but I just thought it was interesting that it was listed under the offset. So, if I want to match the placement of the current wheel (15x10 5" bs with 1/2" offset) with the narrower 18x9.5, then the 5.25 backspacing with 0 offset would be correct - right?

Its a little difficult since the tire sticks out past the wheel lip, but here is what I did. I put the straight edge against the edge of the tire and measured from the mounting surface = 5.6875 (5 11/16). Then I measured from the edge of the rim to the straight edge = .8125 (13/16). That...

The tire on there now is a 295/50/15 and there is no distance between it and what it would hit. It already rubs on the tub and the fender lip (more so on the tub).

Based on my measurements, the mounting surface of the wheel is roughly centered in the wheel well. I can only get a 18" TTII in an 8" width (or I can jump up to a 9.5"). If I understand this correctly, since my mounting position is centered, then I would want my bs to be half the width of the...

I'm actually good on the upper ball joints because I just replaced the driver side today, so I know both sides have the smaller profile. Oh and I do have relocated springs, so the clearance there is not a problem. Ok, so here is another issue. I just measured my rear end. I thought it was a A...

Another question. Is there any difference in looks between the one and two piece versions of the TTII? If they look the same and I can get away with a 4.0 bs on the front as opposed to a 3.5 then I can save a significant amount with a one piece wheel. The difference just at Summit is $56. I...

Here is what I found. The wheels on the front right now are actually 15x6 with 3.375 back spacing. The rear are 15x9 with most likely 6.5 backspacing. I'm guessing on the back spacing by looking at what's available to purchase new (yes I know I could take the wheel off and measure, but I just...

I'm planning on taking the car to the tire shop on Saturday so I'm curious to see what they say.

I ordered new upper ball joints (and a socket) and then I contacted my wheel/tire store. They said that they can help measure everything correctly to make sure I get exactly what I need. At least that way, I have someone to blame if they don't fit haha.

I believe my wheels are 17x7 up front, but its possible they're 17x8s. If that's the case, then it is a 4.5" bs.

I'm running the newer 5x4.5 pattern discs, but I could see upgrading to something nicer when I upgrade my K member (probably way down the road). I'm looking at Torque Thrust II wheels and they aren't offered that I can see in a 17x7 with a 5.0 or 5.5 bs. The most I see is 4.75. I'm not...

If anyone has any input on wheel/tire sizes, I could use some help filling in the blanks. For the front I'm thinking a 17x8 with a 245/45, but what should my wheel back spacing be? 5.0, 5.5, something else? For the rear, I am even less sure what I need. I think I'd like to stagger the sizes...

I do have the larger bolt pattern disc brakes up front. It sounds more and more like I just need to go ahead and swap to a new set. I know I have problems in the rear as well.

Yeah... already did that. You might be able to tell in the picture above. I thought it may be because the front end was too low, so I adjusted it up and even sitting level in the driveway they touch at full lock. These tires are practically brand new and I want 17s, so I may just sell...

According to summit racing, the tire is 26".

My front tires are rubbing pretty badly up front. I know that the driver side is worse because of the worn ball joints, but at full lock the tires are jammed into the front of the fenders. I'm running 215/65/15 Cooper Cobras on what I believe are 15x7 Centerline Convo Pro wheels (3.375 back...

I had 295s on my red car before I sold it and they rubbed even with the springs relocated. I'm not sure if I have a stock width rear end though.

What diameter wheels are you running? I curious too. I have 15s now, but want to upsize to 17s at some point.
