Default Anyone with wide tires.

hey im going to start saving up for my wheels and tires. i want 15x10s, with 325/50r15s. before anybody says i dont need tires that wide im not only doing this to get more traction at the strip but i also just want the looks of a fat tire on the rear, does anybody have any pics of a new edge with tires this wide? ive heard they will fit and measured my wheel wells and i believe they would work. one more question, i just installed my 4.10s and was wondering what the gearing will be like with these 2 inch taller tires, will the gearing feel more like 3.73s or 3.90s?

Here's a pic of a new edge with 345/30/18's. He's got coil-overs and no tailpipes though. I would think your actual ratio with tires that tall would be closer to 3.73's.

6.5" backspacing sounds right. Hopefully someone will chime in and say for sure. Those wide tires do look pretty bada$$!

With a 15x10 wheel...6.5" BS will be just about perfect. How wide is a 325 in inches? When I had my 17" DD Bullitts, I ran 335/35/17's on the rear and they fit well even with the quad shocks still on there.

345 in the rear = HUGE!!!!!! . Do you think those would work on a 18x10.5?
