I had 295-35-18s on my Trans Am with stranos and konis. I thought it was perfect. i think the slightly larger diameter tire in the rear looks aggressive. the 315-30 is actually very slighty shorter than a 275-35 (which is what i'm assuming youre running up front?).

looks like a crazy monster truck in this pic, but it shows the tire pretty well

I currently have 295s, no bfh or rolling the fenders. Will be lowered via Konis and heater hose mod.

I think it filled perfectly. 315s will require BFH and/or fender rolling if you drive your car at all. You may need to anyway with an 11" rim though.

Is there no 305/35/18 available? I would probably go with the 295/35/18.

Wouldnt there be ABS and TCS issues? seemed like my ABS was way too sensitive with my larger diamteter 295s in the back. And my TCS was just the opposite, it let the tries spin a little too much i think.
