I don't have any pics to offer, but that is a great staggered combo without going overboard on the SN95 cars. As long as the wheel offset is correct for the application, around +25 on the front, and +30 on the rear, it will be perfect.

Sold that same combo to a few customers with those cars, always turned out nice. Good fit, no rubbing.


cheers

Brent, thats the sizes I run on my Black Saleens. My rims are 18x9 and I ran 245-40-18 up front and 275-35-18 out back, It's a nice stagger without going crazy.

how its gonna fill up the wheel well also has to do with whether the car is lowered or not. Here is a good site that will compare your current tire size to the one you are thinking of.
