there is no legal tire width for cars that im aware of..... our nova has a 19.5 inch wide rear tire...... vipers come with 345's and so do ford gt's so i dont think there is a limit and if there is its not even close to what we can fit on foxbody's

I just wasnt sure. I guess as long as its a radial and not slicks its good then...

Those 325's are almost 12" wide as I measure them.
BTW, a tire does NOT have to be a radial to be street legat.
Look on the sidewall, as long as it say's "DOT"it's ok........

325's are wider than 12"

315's are 12.4"

315mm x .0393701 = 12.4015815"
325's are 12.8"
