As the title states is my question

Fitment issues..generally dictate how much is too much

As the title states is my question

Purely size based question? This has been our battle since the HC/RE came out, what tire/wheel combination can fit without undue rubbing and/or mods...

Does a dead-blow to the rear inner wheel well bother you? Drilling holes and moving plastic rivets work OK in your mind?

How about how far out past body edges?

Phillips Flares ok?

All of these questions equate to different sizes.

 

[Deano]

Even going to maximum fitmet, it is not enough.

Agreed, unless you are only doing moderate GT driving in a canyon, then O.E. is enough.

Exactly my point, for you ~295 is about the limit, for others on the other end of the spectrum, 325, or even 345 has been shoved in the hole, but it's a VERY different mentality.

Well ya made me go out to the man cave and check the sizes...(nitto p315's)...I remember when ordering the triumph wheels..we had a discussion bout offset...it's not stock..(there still 20's)...but a deep dish that looks spectacular...

315 35 20 on the back of my Challenger with a very thin spacer. Clearance is perfect and therefore that was the perfect tire for my car.

Having trouble getting this car to hook up at the track the only way to get some traction is to run my MT Et drag bias 29.5x10.5x15 running the Et Pro drag radial 315x60x15 can’t get them to stick I’m running a little over 1000rwhp
was thinking about going with the ET Drag bias in 29.5x13.5x15 on a 12” wheel
