Any pics of b body with 18” or bigger wheels ?

These are my 18” rollers. Final rims are still up in the air…

Torkmnstr, what wheels are these from and what are the specs? Did you need a spacer? Thanks, Chris

A guess on my part, but those look like late model cop car wheels. If so, they are not quite the right bolt pattern. Notice he has only two lugs on per wheel.
I wouldn't use them on a 4 1/2 pattern.
 
This is my 67 satellite with a 275/40/18 on an 18x9 weld wheel. Fits with no cutting.

That is some precise fitment there !

I had to edit this...dang phone autocorrected and I couldn't see the mistake.

Tire size on front?
How close are you in the rear height wise to the inner fender?
Stock tubs I assume.

The reason for so many questions is that you have almost the same identical configuration that I'm about ready to pull the trigger on, on my 68.

Love the stance on your car.

1” inside and out. I’ll look back at paperwork to see what the backspacing is but I’m thinking it was 4 1/2”. I had seen where others had used 10” wide but I didn’t want the risk.

Not to be a PITA but I didn't ask about the BS. I'm building the diff to the width between the rims of my choice. Not worried about that.

My questions were - 1. What size "tires" are you running in front and - 2. Roughly how much clearance do you have from the "top" of your rear tires to inner fender well. I don't care about inside and outside, I have that covered.

I'm dropping mine 1- 1.5" in the rear and was considering 285/40/18s in rear but like the look of your 295/45/18s however they are an inch taller. How much clearance do you have at the "top" with your 295/45/18s?

Thanks in advance.

Honestly I haven’t driven it since changing the wheels and tires. It still at the shop being finished. I’ll try to look for you. I didn’t even think of them hitting the top but I will. Heck. I am considering a 1” drop also.
