well if you roll the fender you can get 335's under there but you might have some rubbing issues if you launch it or turn sharp. but 315's you can fit easily on a 17x10.5 rim without any issues.

my buddy has 335's on the rear. he rolled his fenders. he's got an inch on the front (drop) and an inch and a half in the back, the only time he rubs is when he's turning hard or launching with people in the back seat.

I have 315s on my 17x9 Cobras.
without spacers and no rubbing at all?
Nope, no rubbing. My car is lowered too. Keep in mind those 315s are on the rear tho, lol.

I have 275s up front.

the 315 are not doing any good on 9 inch rims youd actually have more traction with 275 because you wouldnt have the bubble the 315s have right now you probably have the exact same contact patch as 245's

So who's got the widest tires... i've heard of ppl runnin 335s or somethin.. wow..
Anyways I have Mastercraft 285s now, wish I would have went with 315s though, just wondering whats the widest tire you can fit under a car without doing any serious modifications.

heres mine


Anyone else got pics?

you can fit a fiske 18x12 in the rear with no problems and run 345 michelin pilot sport tires of course its $5500 for the wheels and $2300 for the tires

I have a 1 1/2" drop all the way around and no rolled fender lips. My 335/35/17's are 13.5" wide foot print.
