I think the largest wheel you can go without hitting there is 19" and that is stretching it! 18 is probably safer and still get a filled out wheel well look! I would think an 18 x 9 should fit OK but there is a pretty wide discrepancy as far as room in there since Chevy wasn't all that good at getting every one of them the same! John |
