  • How wide?

    How wide can you go on the back on a '99 Trans Am? I see you can get alot of these ZO6 wheels in 9.5 and 12!

    With the right off set and some inner fender beating and outter fender rolling you can get as big as 325's

        Stick with 11's. 12's are pushing it and you'd definately have to roll the fender lips and beat the inner fenderwells to avoid rubbing.

            That doesn't sound safe at all, I would recommend changing them soon asap those tires are probably hanging wayy over the rim and that unsupportive sidewall is dangerous.

              315's need to be on an 11inch wide rim. The shop that mounted those should have never put them on those wheels.

                11's and 315's look good on 4th gen T/As. Or you could do 18x10's with 295's in back and that would look sweet too. The only thing I don't like about 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears on a 4th gen is that the different offsets make the front wheels look really small; i.e. flat front wheel and dished rear wheel.

                BUT

                Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you can't argue taste.

                  Tony is right

                    They're perfectly fine on a 9.5 inch rim... You can toss Nitto 315s on yur factory 17s no problem.

                      Nitto 315's are the SMALLEST width 315's out there and they're marginal on 9.5" rims. You're an idiot if you think any other 315's are "fine" I never want to ride or drive around you if you have them on. I've seen a car with them on 9.5" rims and it just LOOKS dangerous with how bulged and pulled in the tire is to the rim. Put them on a 10.5 or 11" rim. Do it right or don't do it at all!!!

                        agreed, I bet the tire place wouldn't even guarantee them to anything other than holding air.
