Default Just test fitted 18 x 11 Rs

The fronts are perfect as they fill the fenderwell nicely but the rears are about 1"shorter making the fender gap look real huge. I have to get 335s and or 35 series tires as the 30s look like rubber bands lol. The fronts I could barely fit two fingers in gap but the rears have 3 fingers with no problem. Im going to lower the back as well to see how it looks as Im not digging that gap. With all that said the traction is great now. I wish they made a 325 as I have seen a 335 on a 10.5 and it bubbles a lot.

Should I stay with a 315 35 or get a 335 30?

The 315s look awesome but if you don't mind paying for the 335s then I say go for it

I found some pics of 335s but as you can see its way passed the fender, which mean big clearance issues I would think.

I've always thought 335's looked stupid. There's a big tire, then there is an extreme version of a big tire and the 335 just takes it too far IMHO. I would almost guarantee you that they will rub like a **** too.

Plus I'd rather have the taller sidewall.

for 94-98's the 335 does look a little crazy where the body of the car seem soo small.. I dont think it looks as bad on a 99-04 but its still crazy,, and 05 and up they are bigger cars so it looks better on them. But its what you like.. I'd be scared to get 335s on some rain if i had to.. My 275's are bad enough.

Damn, them's some meats.

I can't wait until you paint your front bumper and hood. Car still looks good, though. Where did you get your 281 emblems from? I really like them.

335s would be better for rain....

You must just have some shitty rain traction. My 275s do great. I can barely break third gear with them in the rain. Whereas my stock tires could break fifth in the rain.

My 315 NT555's are unbelievable in the rain too, they're actually really difficult to break loose at all.. I was so used to the Sumi's, if there was even just a slight drizzle of rain, they were all over the place.. As Dave said, Sumitomo Dry, Good. Sumitomo Wet, Drift Champion!

I'm leaning towards the 315 35 18. Looking at the photos those 335s just stick out too much.

LOL well i have sumis on mine,, they are HTR Z 2's... Everyone told me wider tires are bad on rain, but i guess my next set im gonna break down n get some nittos.. like i can go sideways with my A/C on at 1500 rpms, just feathering my car. My old HTR Z's on my mach 1's were amazing compared to these except on dry. But wow, i didnt know that,, theres alot i need to learn on tires.

Just adding this, I'm about 99.9% sure that car is IRS. If it's the one that I'm remembering from SN95forums anyway..

I still agree that you should stick with 315/35's for the taller sidewall.

They sold them everywhere a few years back including American Muscle. It was like the chin spoiler, everybody had them.

Thanks . The biggest secret is to keep as many things as possible behind doors. Its actually a little messy as I do not like to see anything out in the open. I actually park two cars in there so keeping things neat is a must. I scored a metal gray craftsman cabinet but Im going to wrap it dark blue to match the other chests as the gray color stands out and I dont have anything that color.

After seeing the pictures of the 335s they are too big for a road car and if you had the axle shortened so that the wheels didn't stick out quite so far it would look like a drag racer

That second pic of the blue car makes me think of a skinny French model wearing combat boots Those tires are way too big for that car (though they would probably look better on a black car like yours.) And speaking of the blue car, is that a factory jack holding it up in the last pic?? I would never trust one to do that..

315's for sure. Anything larger is overkill and will look too big. Car looks good!

I agreed with Pinky, that thing looks like "Shamu" coming down the road

I like the big tires, you can never have too much tire on the back.
