right now im running forgelines 18x10 offset 60(295/30/18) front and 18x11 offset 78(315/30/18) rear. also CCW's 58 offset front and offset 79 rear same tires 18's, i think i can bump the front tire size to 315/30/18's with no issues, but the rear is killing me, im thinking of sawing the rear inner fender lips off to fit a 335/30/18 back there on same wheels. yes i know 335's dont fit well on a 11 inch wheel( i have run a 335 on a 10.5 and lived with it) yes i know the rear fender will be weaker than with fender lip, yes i know for about $5,000 plus their is a wide body rear kit( thats not going to happen) what im asking is ( yes i know body shop has answer) what will it cost to put new rear fenders back on car at trade in time? i looked but cant find what all has to be done to change rear quarters. FYI i busted out the rear inner fender lips on my 2014 last year( had to saw out what was left ) when i ran a 315/30/18 on the rear with a very wrong offset wheel ( 58mm), dealer never noticed no inner fender lips when i traded the car, im not counting on that again. thanks -- i also have given up on GS model any year soon.
Tried the 315/30/18 up front today on the 18x10 offset 58 , it just catches the tire as its dropping off to nothing, I'm running -2.3 neg camber right now and thinking if I went back to -2.8 fender will clear tire?? That and a stiffer shock( I'm non-mag ride z51 now) will keep tire from just touching front fender, I drove hard lock to lock as fast as I could go and this is the rub I got , this is a new hoosier a7, max grip right now
sounds worse than it is, if you not looking for rear inner lips you dont know they are gone. two dealerships-3 dealers walked around my c7 trade last year and did not noticed. its ten months later( at dealership often with other cars)and never heard a word. if/when i get the 315/30/18 to work up front( there are no lips to cut off up there) the saw is coming out!! in april when the 2017 specs come out if their is a GS model that will save then also.
