he means rears.... and B you want 315/35/17 . Badass man!

[CHMLEON]

TireRack.com recommends a max rear of 275/40-17. Anything larger in the back may require some modification to your fender wells.

Hrm, anyone know anywhere better than Tirerack.com? The only ones that they show are specifically performance/competition tires.

I have to buy two new rims for my car, and figured while I'm at it I might as well get the two 11 inch rims like I wanted, but not if I can't find a tire that can handle rain.


Edit: Yeah, I know what TireRack recommends, but everyone knows you can fit 315's in the back. Just have to modify the bumpstop and take a BFH to the inner fender.

What backspacing are you planning on running with those 11s

[meissen]

Damn, nevermind. I didn't realize there was a $100 difference, not to mention it's not that great on wet pavement.

you must be lookin at the wrong area theres plenty of amazing 315 tires that can handle weather. i went with 275s because thats all i really need, a 3.4l def wouldn't need more than that. another reason i went that route is because of price, the wider the more $$$ and its definately a shit load more.

the top two tires here are the best you can get imo. GS-D3 and the gforce ta kd. both will offer great all around performance in all areas including wet. you know how i drive even in the rain with my gs-d3's haha

you want to put some 315 DR's on there Brian and donate them to me to use at the track

[meissen]

Yeah, definitely doesn't make sense. I thought if the price difference was minimal that I could just upgrade to 11's instead since I have to buy two new rims and 1 new tire, but it doesn't make sense to do it.

[Superman09]

Yes it does. Buy them! They look so badass B. There are a lot of good choices for the tires.... GSD3s are very nice, could go with the sumitomo.. many choices. Go on ls1tech and do a search for 315 and you will find MANYYY threads and pictures and such. I say do it!

[cjmatt]

yeah bri, i would pass on the 315s, they will slow ur car down to a turds pace

[Superman09]

boo, go for em! Its not like its a race car anyway.... will come in handy for that V8 later... If i'm not wrong, B does most work to his car for shows... appearance, and huge meats in the rear would add another nice touch!
