Pics of 11" wheel & 295 tire. It's bit more square than I hoped. Currently with OE control arm, but might go back to adjustable arms depending on alignment settings



tire to frame


7.5" from perch to top hat

How much negative camber are you running out back?

I'll provide an update when the car gets off the jack stands. Last time I just added camber for better tire wear but didnt measure

Weil, it kinda fits. This is a control arm i had been grinding for 17" hoosiers, way back in my ASP days. A little bit more grinding and 18x11 wheel/295 tire might fit, but way too close. Maybe you can trim the shoulders of the trailing arm bushings. Goodluck to whoever wants to try it. Maybe one of these days i will cut my trailing arms on my table router

Quote: I run the 18x11 +15 TC105X wheels with the 295 A052 up front. No spacer, completely stock front fenders. However, fitting these will be dependent upon what spring/coilover combo you're running up front.
@LV///R do you have a pic of the fender gap? looks like I have to lift my car a bit to save the fender linings :P

I know this doesn't help much now that you've ordered wheels but figure it's still relevant to people looking for higher offset wide wheels available. I've been using forgestar F14's on my C5 and my E30 for about 5 years, lots of daily driving and multiple track days/year. They sell them in a 5x114.3 in custom offsets and don't cost more than a normal set. Modbargains had my custom 17x9 +26 wheels for my e30 to me in 4 weeks in the color I wanted, built to order too.

Planning a set for my 9 when the time comes.

Absolutely! This isn't the greatest view and I'll do more looking when I have time. But this was taken in Sept '21. I know the inner liner is cut up from the tire. Other than that I think there wasn't any other noticeable wear (other than behind the tire on the side skirt of course)
