I'm in the market for new wheels at the moment, as my rear tires are about shot. I do not want to lower the car, as it is my daily driver. I much rather go with performance oriented (staggered, and as wide as I can go safely) rather then stretched tires and camber, I dislike that very much.
I know the offset is 55 in front and 65 in rear, but If I run an 8" tire out back is it safe to run 255? Any experience in this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

 

oh man u could fit so much more if u had an ap2

 

What does that have to do with what he asked?

It will depend on the tire. Most tire manufacturers recommend 8" as the smallest rim for a 245 tire and 8.5" as the smallest rim for a 255 size tire.

Quincy its called sarcasm...

and i would run at least an 8.5

 

With a offset of 55-65 wouldnt that look like a over craft? do with +45. Did you ever boost that thing or what?

 

i have 9.5 inch wide rear wheel with 255 40 17..no rubbage at all and its slammed..also 8.5 up front slammed with no rubbage or no rolled fenders

 

what are your offsets?

 

I'm worried trying to find the right offsets. I don't want to have to lower it to get the wheels to look decent.

 

i believe +48 front and +65 rear..they sit pretty flush with car id say.. heres a picture..

 

Those look good. I was looking at drag dr19s but couldn't find the right offsets

 

No offense, thats neither slammed nor flush.

The car does look good tho, i like the wheels/color combo.

 

im using 255/40/17 on stock AP2 wheels here on my AP1. looks good.

 

looks good
