Largest Width Rear Tires

[undy]

I'm running 315/35/17 Mickey Thompson DOT ET drag radials, on 10" wheels. They fill the wheel wells great! I yank the front tires every time I take it out too. well.... almost every time.

the tire section width is 14.2" wide, tread width is 12.4". I believe the section width in mm is greater than 335s. I am running Good Year GT / Trans AM Rain Tires on three piece Compomotive wheels. The offset has to be right on! My car is an ERA.

I am not trying to steal this thread but what size tires are you running on the front. I have 16" compomotive wheels that my tire guy could not find the correct size tires for the rims. To get the correct size tires I had to by new 17" rims. I am not a big dia rim guy and there is a visual differance between 16 " & 17" rims. I went with CS/ american racing tork thruster chrome rims and I just not 100% happy with the look. I would like to go back to the 16" Comp's and bigger tires.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Unique 289 FIA that I am just finishing.

On the rear:
315x35/17" BFG G-Force Radials on a 3 piece Compomotive 12.5 knock off wheel



It is putting down 12.5" of rubber on the ground

On the front:
275x40/17" BFG G-Force Radials on a 3 piece Compomotive 9.5" knock off wheel



As you can see they fit nicely with no interference.

I'm running 325/50-15 MT drag radials on custom modified 10.5" (one inch inner half stretch) Trigos. More pics in gallery. This is the max 15" diam tire size that will fit under a Superformance.

What do you run for a front tire?

Those tires are very cool. This may be a stupid question but are they street legal? If you dont mind me asking, how much did the modifications to the wheels set you back?

Yes the MT drag radials are street legal .. Work fine for my "other" cars
