Wide Body Wheels & Tires

[Coz]

What are you guys using for wheel sizes for wide bodies ?

Getting ready to make a change to wide body and finding tires for larger width wheels is an issue.

Doesn’t seem to be much available beyond a rear of 295x35x18 in a good street tire that offers a matching front in a 245/255x35x17.

Thanks.

I guess it also depends on what size wheels you go with. I'm running 18/19 and I know they make wider tires than 295 rear in 19".

Give Henry {GTOneUSA} a pm. He's got the ultimate iforge widebody setup IMO. I've seen it up close.:wink:

Most people usually only run a 225 on an 8.5" wide inch rim on widebody front. Rears go 19 and you can go really wide. J line can custom make any width forged wheel at a semi reasonable price. Check out www.jlinewheels.com
they also have a new wheel called the 11RL3 which is pretty sick.

I run 8.5 in the fronts with 235's right now on a stock body car.
Running 9.5x275 on the rears.

225's on the fronts with anything larger than 275 on the rears will make it push to much for my taste.
I track my NSX a lot.

I will probably run 245/255 on the fronts and 295/305 on the rears.

I will check out the link for wheels.
Thanks.

Nice wheels, I will give them a call to discuss the options and shop pricing.
A little pricey at retail.
Thanks again for the link.
