same can be said for you running DR'ed 11" rears in the back of your car.... how did you even get them to fit without looking all mexicanized... the widest tire I know of that can fit and still look nice is a 345/35 tire (10.5")... and even that requires a lot of grinding and massaging

this is a 345/35/17


that is also a low-mid 10 second mach 1 that traps 130+MPH and supplies over 600RWHP to those tires

yours are 1/2 inch wider and you are seeing south of 250RWHP?


that's insane... pretty much a waste of rubber
There's no way the T/A got 15" wide rims to fit, unless he's an idiot and tubbed a stock car. A lot of people have to minitub with 12" wide wheels. And as for the wide *** tires, it could just be for looks and intimidation. That's all my 335's are for. I could accomplish the same, maybe more with skinnier tires, but like the look of the 335's out back.

2.73 geared automatics were the only ones that couldn't and you could easily remove the block to allow it again.
