295's with 10MM spacers, I think 305's are doable! (pics)

robc1976 · 05-14-2013, 07:53 PM

Decided to I wanted my 295's pokeout more so added a 10MM spacer, shaved the fenders (3-4MM total thickness) and they fit great. I had to do a LOT of grinding on the rear section the most but they fit somehow LOL!! With that being said I think 305's can be done, I am, only at -1.8 camber.

Here are the pics

That looks hot! I really want to do something similar to this...

What are your wheel and tire specs (295/30R19)? Fenders rolled and shaved?

Do you have a full rear shot?

07tundra · 05-15-2013, 01:02 PM

Looks really good Rob!

edirtaynine · 05-15-2013, 01:07 PM

wide tires look badass.

fyi, tires dont "poke"... that term is for wheel fitment - specifically the lip of the wheel.

Here it is with 5MM spacer....the 10MM I have now make them look a lot better though.

With the 10MM spacer, that makes the wheel offset a 32, right? 19x11" wheel? Any rubbing at your current ride height?

If you don't mind, what are your front wheel/tire specs?

Thank you!

It is a 10.5 wheel. No running since the shaving. My fronts are 20 X 9 with a 35 ET and a 245/30/20 with 5MM spacer.

I put electrical tape to make the line where I wanted to cut, cut out fender lip....be sure to make sure paint does not get to hot. After you cut lip off start grinding/sanding (I used a dremel grinding stone).

You also need to do this:

That is just so damn badass!!
You have a lot of room now for 305's.
17" wheels 305 drag radials + rb's = winn????

Quick Q, after shaving it down that much, have the two pieces of metal begun to separate at all or are they still nice and tight? I plan to cut mine, but knowing how far I can cut without them separating would be a huge help.

I'm still debating on whether to try it myself or have a shop do it.

do it yourself man., not hard at all! I noticed something today...with me grinding I actually melted a lot of it together. This may sound cheap but "JB metal weld" may hold this in place. Mine is still nice and tight....like my wife!
