The blue sema car has 18x10" front, 18x10.5" rear wheels.

275/35-18 tires front & rear.

Blue SEMA car is also a race car with no inner fender liners. And there's no need for the extra inch of width over stock in the rear if they're just going to run the factory sized tire. They could've used an 18x9.5 all around for 275s.

LSx,

Its for proper fitment of the race tires, The hoosiers have a very stiff sidewall and require a certain wheel size to work properly. That said I dont know what exact tire they used or whatnot but it certainly seems like a lot of rim for the tire.

Did anyone catch what any of the other concepts were running for the rear tires?

Yea, I've been trying to see what was on the back of the LS7 but haven't had any luck.

They don't look that wide to me, maybe 295 tops

The tire size on the back of the ls7 is a 305. Don't know wat the rim width is.

okernan6.2 · 11-13-2008, 04:57 PM

I believe I read/heard that the rear wheels on ls7 were 20x9.5, its somewhere in the post about ls7, maybe in the short video clip, I cant recall.

Stock SS size.

I have these wheels on my 05 Mustang. I wonder what they would look like on the new Camero?

ITMerc · 12-09-2009, 06:08 PM

I'm sure this is old news by now but its pretty simple to run a 20x9 front and 20x11 rear wheel with 275/40 fronts and 315/35 rears. It for sure works with either Pedders or KW Coil overs, not sure about stock suspension. I'm not subscribing to this thread so I won't see any posts after this one.
