    What wheel spec needed to run WIDE tires

    To run something like 275/35/15 what wheel spec should I be looking for?

    Width/backspacing/offset?

    Thanks

    that's gonna be pretty tough without some fender work.

    9" - 9.5" wide.

    hard roll on the fenders.

    offset somewhere around et25, but i think you'd still have some clearance issues.

    this would be for the rear, no hope for that up front on anything resembling stock body panels.

      Yeah, fenders will have to be cut/boxed that's fine. I am more concerned with clearing the INNER area.

        9.5 in the rear will clear with et20 for sure.

          In the front you have to be in the ET0 range so the tire will clear the strut, IIRC. On a 15x9 that is.

            If you're going to cut up the fender, go big. 10-11" wide is the trick.
