For a 12" wheel you will need 7"bs I have 10" with a 6.5bs with a 325/50/15 and I have about 1" clearance on the inside and the outside edge of the tire as I did not want any rubbing issues and I wanted to lower the rear over the tire I will take some pics of the car lowered tomorrow for you to see if you want .

 

Please do...

I was also planning on narrowing the rear end by 2" which should allow me to run the 12" wide wheel...

 

A little info on the rear set up .
1st pic is of the autoweldchassis shootout rear coil over kit which uses alden eagle shocks and a torsion bar anti roll bar.
2nd pic the rear was narrowed 2.25" each side and powder coated gloss black and a detroit locker 4.10 gears and 94 gt disk brakes ect .
3rd is a before I lowered the car pic about 1.5" or so .
4th is of the clearance I have on the inside from tire to frame about 1.75" or 2 good fingers . BUT I have a 7/16" spacer until I get some offset control arms from wolfracecraft as the tires only had about 1/4" space between the lower control arm and the tire to close for me . The rest of the pics are self explanatory

 

You guys have my attention.

 

I want to see pics too.

I run a 15x12 with the 6" BS. The tire is a BFG 325/50/15

 

Nice rides guys...keep em coming boys!

 

Very nice cars!!!!!

So, I am taking it that a 325 is about as large as I can run, and to do so I am going to have to narrow the rear end a couple of inches... Dang, my wife is looking at a Falcon that is running 19.5" slicks!!!!

Might have to start thinking about back halfing the car...

 

Could you guys get some underside pics of the rear ends? I would love to see underside angles.

 

if you leave the frame rail where it is, then yes 325 is about as big as you can go in 15". You could go 335 ina 17". If you change the frame rail which makes it illegal for most classes, you can run a lot wider like 345 etc.

 

Well yeah...if your gonna move the frame rail...freakin cut them off....and backhalf the car with a true 4 link setup.

Still wanna see more underside pictures.

ChargedUp!...what is the backspacing of your wheels?

 

They're 15x12 with a 6" BS.

 

Never seen a shiny seat like that.

 

setups look great guys!

 

keep em coming as I am ordering my kit from Team Z monday morning!

 

Don't mean to hijack but, what do you guys think will fit on an 18x10 and 18x12? Also at what rim width do you start to run into issues with the lower control arm and the tire?

 

any ideas how much offset need to run 325 with out shorting the axles just mini-tubing it

 

The 6.5" sits almost flush with the outer fender, if you could find some that are 7.0" that would be perfect if you have tubbed and cut the frame rails.

he used a 15x12 with 7 1/2 backspacing and stock rear still using the stock lower control arms.

 

i allready have strange axles and i'm turin 10.7s right now on slicks
i'm just trying to set it up so i can hook up from a dead stop on the street. mickey tompsons 275/40/17s dr are not cutting it

 

Well the mini tubs are fully installed and frame rails notched I have lots of room with the tire in there im going to run a Hoosier 29x10.5w tire for now with a 10 inch wheel with 6.5 backspace and the rearend is narrowed two inches per side when I upgrade my rear wheels and brakes I will be running a Hoosier 29.5x10.5w tire on a 12 inch wheel with 7 inches of backspace. I love the look it will have with the big 30 inch tire tucked up under the car. The upper tq boxes are fully welded up,lower tq boxes fully braced and welded up,and through the floor subframes complete! Next is the cage and mocking up the rear to install the anti roll bar and rear coil overs with upper and lower bracket's.

 

looks good

 

1foxbody32...did you make your own tubs or buy some companies kit? If so what brand did you buy?

 

I bought them from wolferacecraft. Very nice quality I highly recommend them
