Do yourself a favor and stick with the 315/35/17 They have the same diameter as your stock tires so you won't throw off your speedo, or odo, ect. They are plenty wide, I love them

FYI 335/35/17 are about .75" taller than stock/315's

Doesn't the Diabosport Predator Tuner check for that? I could have sworn I saw that when I was doing mine for the gear swap. I'll have to check it out tonight. I'll let you know unless someone else posts it here.

Yes it does, but TruBlu03GT didn't say anything about owning a Diabosport Predator Tuner, so I was just giving him a heads up

I just went and measured...The rears 335/35/17=25" tall with 13.5" foot print, the fronts 275/40/17's=24.25" tall with 10.5" foot print.

335 div by 25.4 = 13.19" wide.. so you are correct

You say 25" tall, but unless your tire is WAY over inflated, you have a flat spot on the bottom, and probably some tire wear.

I am running 22lbs.

Ok so like I said, with a new properly inflated tire off the car, a 335/35/17 should be 26.232283 tall, or almost .75" taller than a stock tire. [&:]

RE: Tire Size

Go with either. I just got tired of the 315's and wanted something a little wider.

RE: Tire Size

I drove to the tire store, they took off my 315's, mounted the 335's and put them on the car, I drove away. And it's been nothing but looking "PIMP' ever since.
