Default Widest tires out there???

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?

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.

Nope, no rubbing. My car is lowered too. Keep in mind those 315s are on the rear tho, lol.

I have 275s up front.

I have Goodyear F1's 315/35 in the rear... I have heard that the F1's that I have run wide. Every brand various with the actual width.. I had to bend my exhaust pipes to like an oval shape to the tire wouldnt rub on it.. I remember seeing a compairson of the sumotech 315's vs. goodyear eagle F1's and the Goodyear was about 1" wider. I saw it online in a picture, but I cant find it now. That was like 6 months ago
