I have Crager SS 15X7 with 225/70 Diamond Back Redlines. I would like to put a bigger tire on the rear. Can I go with a wider Crager and bigger tire or just a bigger tire? I am sure it's been asked before.

the tires fit perfect...give me your email address for better pics...i took a few..but they are showing up too big..i have a few different angles..the sidewalls are big on the tires...they are 30x13.5...if you wanted to have the quarter's cover the sidewalls, you would be better off with the 12.5s...when the car is level the quarters cover the top of the tire like a glove...

Blue, Thanks for trying to post these pics. I'm looking forward to seeing them. I can't imagine how those 30 X 13.5's could possibly fit on my car without some serious fender surgery, or keeping the back end jacked up with the air bags. Here's mine with the 275/60R-15 BFG-DR's. The picture makes it look like there's more clearance than there really is. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> What wheel back spacing? |

All depend on how much backspacing you have in the wheels.I have only 3 3/4 in my aluminum slots,I am running 245/60/15s and there is only 1/2in of room.If I had 4 or 4 1/2 back spacing I could run wider tires.

Hey Rob, I'd like to see the pics too. Did you have to do anything to the outer wheelwell's or do you have mini-tub's?

I don't remember his backspacing, but he responded before that there was no room on the inside to move them in. They just don't fit.

I have Crager SS 15X7 with 225/70 Diamond Back Redlines. I would like to put a bigger tire on the rear. Can I go with a wider Crager and bigger tire or just a bigger tire? I am sure it's been asked before.
