Ok I wanna get setup with a wheel and tire setup. I want some really WIDE tires in the back like 305+'s.

Firsts off I'll get the front outta the way. I have 3" coils w/ 2" spindles. I dont beleive the coils dropped it a full 3"s my guess is its a 4-4.5" drop in front and 5 in back.

So for the front Torque Thrust 2's 17x8 w/ 235/45/17's
and the chosen tires are (BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDWS Tires)

Then for the back and I know some tubbing will be required
17x11 w/ 315/35/17's and the chosen tires are (BFGoodrich Comp T/A Drag Radials ) or mabye (285/40ZR17 KDS's how much of a difference is that from the 315's?)

If I can I will run 245/45/17 and 315/35/17 Nitto NT555R Exreme Drag Radials but i dont know if the front tires will run or not. That way I have the same brand tires in the front and back.

Now my question is what back spacing should I get for hte wheels. The back wheels can stick out 1/2" to 1" but I'd like the fronts to be flush. Also just to make sure we have 5x4.75 pattern correct?

fronts 17 x 8 4.5" backspacing with a 245/45/17 should be fine. may rub a little, but not much if at all.
u may want to reconsider rear wheel width though.
a 17 x 10 should be big enough. i have 285/40/18 on 18 x 9's
you will most likely need to do some serious trimming to get a 315's back there. belive u need to trim for 295's
my 285's are real close with 5.25 back spacing.

edit
yes the bolt circle is 5 x 4.75

i have 335/30/18s out back on a 18x10 rim with 5.5 bs only work required was to roll up the inner fender lip.

So If I run the 17x8 w/ 4.5 bs and 235/45/17's in front and 17x10 w/ 5bs and 285/40/17's in back I should be ok?

 

[samdogmx]

do you already have the wheels? if not i would get 5.5 bs

 

[ZR1 S10]

Nope I'm researching before buying. So for the back get 5.5bs, and everything else is ok?

 

[samdogmx]

yep everything else looks good, And you could probably get away with 285s with 5 bs but if you ever wanted to go bigger later on you will need 5.5 bs

I HAD 295 35 19 ON 19X10 5.5 BS AND was fine

Tony your signature is funny, "so for lets say 4500 bucks total you get a streetable 4 door that runs low low 11's on pump gas!", shouldn't the total cost be more like $35,000 ?!?! 11.86 is really impressive for only $2k in mods though, nice work.

335's look insane, can you even spin the tires that much with that much rubber on there?!?! If I ever get another set of street rims I will be going for atleast a 305 rear tire setup, just looks so awesome.

actaully race gas fuel map was used on my runs.
