I am curious to how wide a rim and back spacing I can go to fit to tuck. Im thinking some C6 19x10s on the rear and 18x8.5 on the front. Any idears guys and gals

 

what year?

 

I asked a similar question a week ago. Refer to that post. https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=15348

 

i would not do 19x10 that will stick out too much plus you prob be rubbing. 19x8 or 9 might work better. why you want to go that wide anyway? just letting you know going that wide will put lot of stress on the tranny.

 

Its a 1978 with a 350/350 right now. The car is going to be lowered. I like the wide rear look!

 

why didn't you say it's a 1978..thought you talking about the 2000-05. i don't about the 1978 then sorry charlie!

 

Its all good lol. I know I can get a pretty large tire to tuck. Im actually thinking of a diffrent rim now. Its a 19x9. More of a modern exotic looking rim.

 

well with it beign an older there is always the option on minitubs, rooling the lip on the inner wheel well

 

ive got an 80 the biggest ive fit without rubbing or modification is 275/60/15 on a 15/8 with 3.75 backspacing. im currently running same size tire no rub with 3.50 backspacing. thats on a 15 the diameter with the tire is 28" tread width is 9" so the actual width might be 10.5 11". if you run a taller rim you have an idea how much room you have to play with. heres some pics.

 

Nice looking monte monte man . I like that T/A aswell in the background. I guess I may be looking at 18 or 19x8s or a small tube.
