As the title states...can i do it? is it possible? can it be lowered with 11 inch wide wheels? who sells them that size? thanks

American racing torq thrust II wheels. They look sick in 18x11, chrome. You probably need to remove your quad shocks and upgrade your LCAs in order to run them though. I saw a video of someone with those exact wheels and they just removed the quad shocks... when the tires spun, they wobbled. Im not sure about the lowering part though, im sure it can be done

i run 18x10s in the rear and my car is lowered 1.5 and i had to tie the brake lines back because they were rubbing and it does come close to the shocks but if the offset is right you might be able to do it but it would be very close.

What tire size are you hoping for?

 

[imblown-ru]

...i dunno. big!

 

[stangGT97]

you can probably put 325s on an 11" wheel. thats huge

I've got 335/35/17's on a pair of 10.5" Black Bullitts. Haven't had any problems, and I do some hard cornering too. AWESOME straight-line action. All I did was flip my quads to make 'em fit. Of course, I'm still 4x4. This happens to be the O.E. rear tire size for the Viper and Lamborghini.

the only way it would be possible is if the offset of the wheel was perfect. if that were just right I am sure it would work. I have 18x10 and have not issues I think there is .5 in each direction but wouldld have to measure to be sure but it might be possible.

if the offset was wrong at all the either the rubber is going to rub on the fenderwell or you are going to rub on somthing towards the back.

those cars are designed for them

well from experience, I know that I need at least 315s in back because my stock GT burns its tires all the way through 5th gear when I give it part throttle

thats gotta be focking heavy. dont be surprised if you have to roll the fenders at some point.

I have 18x11 CCWs on the back of my car. My car is lowered with the Eibach Prokit. I don't have any rubbing (even with the quad shocks still on) but I only have 295/35s.
