Guys please help me out.... Is the 17 the smallest I can go? And what's the widest/best option for the rear while running the stock 19 inch fronts..


Slick/DRs sizes too would help... Thanks +rep for those who help!
With the sport brakes, the smallest diameter wheel you can fit is an 18" wheel. Ideally, you want to be wider than the front. I will be running a 275/35/18 BFG drag radial on 18"x10" +22 wheels. You can get away with using an 18"x8" wheel with a 245/45/18 drag radial if you are staying NA. You can go as wide as a 315mm wide tire in the rear pending you use a 18"x10" or 18"x11" wheel with the correct offset.

Even on the back?


I think it will also depend on the specific wheels you are looking at.

Been researching this subject myself.
Who makes these wheels ???
18"x10" +22

Tire size recommendation?

I have the sport brakes, stock suspension and am running the HR 20mm spacers with the long lugs...which I would like to keep if possible.

Do you perceive any fitment issues ?


Thanks,
Bob
