It's getting close, very close. As soon as I see tread even with the wear bars, these are going on. I'm using every last mm of rubber on these things, lol.

GrnBullitt08 & Surfstang2020,

What offset are you running on your wheels for 315 rear?

 

[JohnnyGMachine]

Digital_Synapse - you're my hero LOL. I'm curious to see how these fit? Will they truly tuck? Man that's some serious tire. You know when you start to get to tires that wide it actually makes it just a little more difficult to turn your car! LOL! There's soooo many discussions about super wides on the pro-touring and lateral-g forums about this. Eeeh who cares - it'll be wicked!!! Hurry up! Just do a ridiculous burnout and get it over with!

I was thinking about going with 335's also ... Can wait to see those on your car...

Tires in that picture were 325s... Don't remember the offset

This is the exact tire set up on the Shelby Kona Blue Vert that was listed earlier in the thread.

You will need to remove & relocate the bumpstop bracket.

Most guys have had the wheels widened larger than 11" if they were running 335.

Looks like on that Blue Shelby Vert the rim/tire sticks out of the wheel well a bit.

Glad you mentioned those bumpstop relocates from zombeast, I think I'm going to have to grab a set of those. My steeda wheels catch on those when the rear end droops. Don't need them but would make putting the car on a lift easier.

I believe the reason they stick out some is becasue the offset on the alcoa is so aggresive (+37 on a 10" wheel) to begin with. When they widen the wheels that do it on the inside. I believe the vert had weldcraft widen them to 11.75".

Either way I think it is the best looking vert I have seen. One other thing - he kept the stock springs in the rear to be able to accomodate the big tire as well.

315s with no rub here

New Dunlop 325/30/20's on ebay for 550/pair + shipping. Figured I would share this incase other people were trying to stuff big tire under the rear. These normally go for about 800/tire. If I didn't just buy brand new 315 michelins I'd be all over this. The perfect width and height:
