Fattest Tires with out Mods...

[Pirate]

15X12 is insane, do you have pics?

Of course not, lol.

I still have 11 or 12 rolls of 35 mm film yet to be developed from the last 7 or 8 years, I think it's on one of those rolls.

I still have the set of Cragars off of the Malibu and I am wondering; will a P275 75R15 work on an '86 CV? They provided great traction on the Malibu and they stopped rubbing the wheel wells when I installed the lift bars. Though the CV will have a different set up; probably a lot lower than the Malibu. I figured that if I should ever go through with the engine swap, I would use the Cragars for the track. Another question; are there any donut tires out there that will fit the Ford bolt spacing? I am thinking of using them for the track as well to lighten up the front end. Though I could always just use the small Cragars that I had on the front of the Malibu too.

Unless they are uni-lug, they are different bolt patterns. 4.5 Ford vs. 4.75 GM

some of the Cobras used aluminum 16" donuts.

would an 18"x9 with a zero offset fit my 99?

Should fit but also depends on the section width of the tire.

0 offset wheels are going to allow the widest wheels and tires. Any inset or out set is going to reduce tire section width.

The front tire diameter is limited to the rear inner fender contact which also varies with offset. 0 ofset allowing the fatest tire.
Front tire width can be increast if the tire dia is smaller than stock and the wheel inside diameter clears the upper ball joint.

I think it's a uni-lug; well, it has the oval bolt holes for it anyway. Mustang donut tires. I am going to have to look into that.

Is there and advantage to using waggon coils over sedan cargo coils?

Are there waggon specific cargo coils?

higher spring rate. rear of the car ends up sitting higher. there are wagon-specific coils too, in the faq as mentioned.
