No confusion at all Eric. I know the difference between the two. I am running 305's on a 10" rim and they work perfectly.
I just now remembered you are running a 305' GS-D3 and looked them up. I had no idea they were approved for a 10" rim. I am VERY surprized at that. Don't you have quite a bulge on those?

EDIT: how exactly does a cat eat words? Last time I did that I was in-consonant for days [8D]

Oh, and Eric, your car is not an SN-95, it is a new-edge Saleen

So for the record, anyone, what are the fronts that are close enough in height to match the 305's 28.4 height??? 275/35/20 still at 27.7? That's a noticable difference isn't it? Erik

28.4' is absolutely HUGE!

I wouldn't worry about the fronts as much. The speedo does not work off of them, and will be hard pressed to find (let alone FIT) a tire that diameter under the fronts. I don't know why you would notice any difference, have you ever seen the Prowler[8D]

Good point Jazz, I was just curiuos how Saleen will set their standard sale tires, since their entire SC line will be more powerful, I would imagine that those sizes would be better traction for all SC cars past 420rwhp with 20" wheels. It compansates for the slightly less traction 20's get compared to 18's.

I would imagine that someone with 20's with 305/35/20's and 3:73 gears would be about the same with grip and speed as someone with 285/40/18's and a 3:55 gear ratio as myself, from what I understand. Erik

Its actually slightly smaller height-wise then the 275/40's that used to be n the rear.
