help with wheel and tire fitment please
« on: March 15, 2020 - 07:55:50 PM »
Hello

I an running a 285/35/18 on a 10inch rim but I am using a 1 inch spacer which makes my back space 5 1/2. I would like to get rid of the spacer.

I have 1/4 inch of room on the fender side and 5/8th to the leaf side. would a back spacing of 5 1/4 on a 9 1/2 rim be further from the rim of closer?

thanks

David

What is the actual back spacing on your 10" wheel. (forget the spacer)
A 10" wheel is pretty ambitious on a Challenger. Did you relocate your leaf springs?
I tried using a 17x9.5 with a positive 24mm offset and I had about 1/8"-1/4" either side.
It worked with a 255 tire but I didnt like the look.

Were you able to install it and make it work? I'm getting a new 17" wheels at 4WheelOnline. I just happened to check on this thread because I'm concerned about the fitment as well.

Hello,

I have a question about the 285/35/18. I thought I´d just ask people here in the forum. I was thinking about getting all-seanson tires, so i did some research and found this article which sums up the possibilities pretty nicely:

https://www.meisterbob.de/ganzjahresreifen-test/ (its a german article, but you can easily translate it with Google or Pons)

My question is whether one of you know if the 285/35/18 are available as all-season tires.

Thanks in advance
