Are your 295's inside the stock rear wheel lip? I am putting on the Ridetech rear and want to run the Avon 295's with a 10 inch wheel and 5.5 inch backspace.

From your post , I thought you were talking crank hp. Years ago I went 160 around Pocono, but that was in a racing Vette. Great fun ! Good luck to ya and let us know how it works out.

Pop: I believe that was 300 rwhp and cleaned up aeros.
I'm thinking that was 600 rwhp for the Le Mans cars which had not much of a rear spoiler.
It took some serious ***** to go 200+ in a C3.
Of course the cars were heavily modified. lol

I did 18x10 with 0 +/- offset which I think is the same as 5.5BS (but you would need to confirm). I dont have a great pic of the wheels but they are barely under the lip. I was under the impression that the offset arms were needed for this, but it seems some others have figured out a way around that based on some of the posts. Good luck

Offset trailing arms are not offset in the area that affects backspacing with 18" wheels. Smaller wheels yes, 18" wheels no.
Up above in the wheel sticky someone has the original 48 hour wheels....big F-in wheels
