335's on Backdraft rear? Possible?
I'm thinking of moving up to 335's on the rear of my Backdraft with LSD.
Just plain tired of having to stay ahead of this thing trying to keep it straight on second gear run ups after about 4,200 rpm.
It's an easy catch, but you end up changing lanes.
And before you post, yes I have tried some different 315's (Sumitomo currently) and the rear gear is 3.1 with a TKO 600 RR, alignment/toe and corner weights are right on the money. It's somewhere between 450 and 500 at the wheels, depending on the fuel (mass flow proximity port injected, so it's a quick study via the computer).
This happens like clockwork at about 4,200 RPM and with the 3.1 rear gear, it has already built up a head of speed by that time, so it's exciting to say the least. But, actually dangerous and I need to solve this before someone gets hurts.
So, any 335 experience, especially related to a Backdraft's (#318) clearance issues? Any suggestions on tires that can hold this setup.
