What size wheel for a 345-30-18 BFG?

[stangbanger856]

So I got an amazing deal on a set of brand new 345 30 18 BFG DRs from a member here and now looking for the right size wheel to fit.

wheel will start off as a 18x9 Chrome Saleen wheel from American Racing (cheapest price around considering its going to get cut in 2) should I have it widened to 11,11.5 or 12?

I have run 315 Toyos ona 10.5 wheel on my car with PLENTY of room to spare all around. I have rolled the fenders already, Removed the quad shocks and lightly massaged the inner fender wells just because I can. My exhaust it 2 1/2 inch back to 3 inch SLP tips which I will keep. Springs will be H&R Super Sports.

my brother runs 335s on his 10.5 and they fit fine. Im sure any of those width will work great. bfg's run a little small in comparison to Toyo and a few others

I would say 12. It would bulge like a truck on anything less

Also wanting to know this

Thanks, I want a small amount of bulg to the tire. Just not like some that I have seen in pics on here.

12 is crazy talk lol

11.5 minimum.

 

[stangbanger856]

just called Weldcraft wheels and got a quote of $225 to open them up to 12 inches wide plus $25 per wheel to ship. so $175 per wheel new, plus $225 to mod that's $400 per wheel to mod then $50 to ship, that's $850 total for rear wheels.

11.5 would be perfect. Heres my 335 BFGs on 11.5s

Are you tubbed? 12" with that tire has got to hit something...Rather than spending all that money, just sell the tires to me

I have 345/35-18 M&H drag radials on 11" rims and I think they look good. Check the idle clip in my sig to see them.

 

[BlackHrtStang]

11" at minimum

I would think 11.5 would be just fine, no need to go 12.

For $400/rim, you could get some custom Forgestars with the perfect offset and they would probably be much lighter and stronger than the AM rims!

1. Not for $400....

2. He'd need fronts to match

3. More like $2500
