I was hoping someone could help me with the above question.

I am wondering what is the WIDEST tire I can run in the rear of a FD with coilovers and NO fender flares ???

 

im pretty sure they determined it isnt good to go with anything over a 285 tire without rolling the rear fenders.

 

im running 285s all around with no rolled fenders

 

lol...

I will roll the hell out of the fenders. I wanted to know if I could run 305/30 in the rear as I was told with the one piece front end I am looking to install, I will run that in the front. I was hoping to get the same size rubber all around and not have to use fender flares. I understand that with the right offset 285 is easily done.

My question is only in regards to the REAR TIRES. (not the front)

 

dunno im running 285/30s on all fours with 7.4 inches of backspacing on my 10" wide wheels.

 

so you will roll n pull but no fender flairs right?

 

I recall some cars running 305s in the rear without any flares. It fits. However, remember that real tires vary quite a bit even when they share the same numerical size. The cars I have seen running them had Hoosier RS303 tires, I think.

There is someone on here i seen runninga 305 i believe search it

 

In addition, you will need PERFECTLY fitted wheels to fit 305s under there without flares. And you will probably need aftermarket trailing arms too.

 

Thanks for the inputs..

I am running aftermarket trailing arms and will be mounting Hoosiers on the car.

Just trying to get an idea of what setup to go with.

I will be using a one piece front end and was told it will allow me to run 305s. Knowing that I had hoped to keep it matched all around but with out flares.

Any ideas on how much back spacing that will require ?

Still trying to decide between 17s and 18s also.
