    With your 16s?

    You can do 255 50's but I would stay with the 245 50's

        your gonna need wheel adapters to mount the 4th gen style wheels. Too bad I sold my Z06 wheels 17" front 18" rear already

        You planning on lowering the car ?

          18x9 +50mm offset with 2" spacers will put the tires right at the edge of the rear wheel wells. This is on my Iroc with LT1 style rear disc brakes.

            19's are tough to fit. Most people run an 18/18 or 18/17 setup.

              19's are too big and please dont do a staggered setup.

                  this is just all talk for now, just another one of my million ideas, but thanks for all the sugestions, i have read about the spacers on other pages, and whats wrong with a lil diff stance from a stagger? no one will even notice a 1 inch difference from rear to front

                    I can pick it out almost right away

                    But I don't like the stagger on f-bodies

                      the spacers are for my stock 86 rear end right?

                        Correct.

                        It really depends on the offset and width of the rim to determine if it bolt right up, need a spacer, or not fit at all.

                            295s are about as big as you can go without a) rubbing b) 4x4 wheel offset.
