im getting a mariah mode 1 wide body from a member, and am just curious...

-whats the widest rim i can run, and the widest tire in the back/front(please tell me offset, etc.)

 

when you get it, mock up the fenders with tape with the wheels on, and measure from the rim's lip out to the lip of the fender.

add that measurement to the width of the rim you have and you should get around 9" or more.....

i cant remember what size the Mode1 kit is.... IIRC the mode 3 is the widest and i have seen ppl put 12"rear and 10" fronts

sorry i cant help further, its been a while since i've seen ANY mariah kit owners locally

 

If you plan on running wider rear wheels, you'll need to notch the rear fenders. Refer to my writeup in the archives. I'm running 9"/10" f/r with a 4-3/4" backspace. Don't use my #s as I have a wider kit and the big brake swap.

 

offsets will vary depending on what stud pattern u have.....
with a 4/110 stud
17x9 with -16 offset will fit the rears, with room to go a little wider on the inside
so a 17x10 with -4 would fit too, i think
rear fenders need to be cut out like trochoid said /\
!

 

Straight from the man himself, Jim Hagerty, "as a maximum we recommend 225/50 x 16 up front and 245/45 x 16 at the rear." "Using 16 x 8.0 front wheels with a -3mm offset, and 16 x 9.0's with a +10mm offset at the rear will provide adequate clearance. There is an acceptable tolerance of + or - 5mm on the offsets."

 

i believe it is identical set up to mine. please look into my research for similar questions.
