Newbie here. Have done a search but cannot find an answer to my question so here's hoping someone knows.

What are the largest 18" wheels and tyres I can fit on my FD?

I am happy to roll guards, remove inner bits, small changes but I like the stock look and wish to keep it that way so no large flares or major cutting. FWIW car currently runs 4 degrees front and rear camber and runs slicks 100% of the time.

Dedicated race car.

Thanks you!

 

If it's a dedicated race car, the maximum size is prolly dictated by the rules for the class you race in. Otherwise, not being put off by removing "inner bits" means you can get away with murder. I was at House of Hot Rods in Mansfield, TX, yesterday and saw steamroller 335/40's rears under a 1stgen '69 Camaro...and none of the rear quarter panel was flared out...just stretched lengthwise. They took out some inner bits to make it happen with mini-tubs.

Let's see what the stock fenderwell 3rdgen guru's have managed since I'm pretty sure that's what you actually mean.

Thanks. Tyre size unlimited. Must run 18" to clear the 368mm 14.5" rotors

Prefer not to mini tub

The excel spreadsheet in the other thread only goes to 9.5"

Would like to know what offsets work for say 10", 10.5" 11"

PLEASE

 

i got 18x10

 

Well, there's one...nobody else reading this has an FD?? Why do I have a hard time believing that?!

 

if u wana run stock body for rears i would say x10 and around +25-30 offset not 100% but i run a 10.5 +22 and my car only has about an inch flare on it and its not even close to rubbing but its allso about the tire i only run a 275 if ur run a race car ur better off going with a 18x9.5 +25 for weight reduction and getting a 285-295 put on there vs stickin that on a 10-11 because ulll probably rub to much with a stock body but if ur ok with Pulling the fenders out about a inch or getin a inch flare such as the Burnout rears or Feed rears from Shine auto (check out there vendor tab), if u had somthing like that you could run a 10.5 +25 range with like 315s if u wanted or a 18x11 +30's

again thats not 100% im just going off of what i use and have run before but my curent setup is 10.5 +22 and i could easily run 305-315 and not rub But i have about 1inch wider setup from stock

and for front wheels stock body id say 18x9.5 +30 you could slap a x10 but it would be close as i run a 9.5 +12 but again i have about 1 inch wider in the front

Hope this helps

Thanks for that.
You have certainly given me something to digest.
