Well, I decided some new wheels were in order. I think they look pretty good. I need some new center caps with just a bowtie on them and some lug covers, but that's later! Sorry about the x's. 275s up front and 315s on back.

Some brands are wider than others. I have BF goodrich tires on there and they don't rub. There is a little pounding needed on the wheel well. The biggest problem is the jounce bump. I had to grind about 1/4 inch off of the mount and the bump stop just to mount the tires. Once the car is down there is no problem at all. My only problem is I still spin like crazy! Oh well.

they seem to stick out just a little bit. like the 17x11's on my Vette but I think mine stick out a little more

What did you or what are you going to do with your old ones ?

GeoffWhite · « **Reply #15 on:** September 06, 2005, 11:22:56 pm »

I still have them. Two rims have new tires on them, and the other ones are going to get drag radials on them. These 315s don't hook worth a crap!

K sounds good

The Sad · « **Reply #17 on:** September 07, 2005, 10:41:10 pm »

I didn't see the size listed, how wide are the back rims?

GeoffWhite · « **Reply #18 on:** September 07, 2005, 10:59:19 pm »

17"X11"

The Sad · « **Reply #19 on:** September 07, 2005, 11:55:15 pm »

Nice! I hope to have some that big some day.

I was also wondering if that might be part of the traction problems. It is rumored that you could have problems fitting that size tire on a 17x9 or so wheel. That's not your problem though.

What kind of tire are they? Looks like Goodyear Eagle ?? If they are the same as my stock tires (the F1 GS) they SUCK!!!

GeoffWhite · « **Reply #20 on:** September 08, 2005, 09:56:57 pm »

To be honest with you they don't hook any better at all than the 245s. The only reason to go wider is better stance and they just look mean. I'd just get an extra set of stockers and throw some DRs on them. The fronts are F1s, but I don't know which ones. The 315s are BF goodrich tires.
