Title: widest wheel on rear of late model Post by: volksnut on March 03, 2010, 01:48:03 am fronts are no problem, but I'm thinking of a lighter wheel than what I have (Centerline, Erco) come to mind...whats the widest/offset I can stuff with 205/65-15 under the fenderwell thanks

Centerlines are hefty wheels, ERCOs are extremely light.I've got 8" wheels on the back of my car, but with a wider tyre than you suggest. With your tyre, I'm sure a 9" wheel will fit, but you have to hit the offset right on. I don't recommend more than a 7 with your tyre.

What is your rear suspension? Swing? IRS? If you have IRS and stock rear drums, a 7" wheel with 30-35mm offset will fit. Title: Re: widest wheel on rear of late model Post by: volksnut on March 06, 2010, 20:05:58 pm yeah IRS
