I guess you would have to mini tub it. I would like to see a street car F-body with 13" rear rims. I'll bet it would look mean as hell.

Exacty, I am about to put a 18x12 with a 335/30/18 (viper size) in the rear or I am thinking about putting 19's all the way around with a 19x13 and 355/25/19 on the rear. I just cant decide if the 19's will look to big. I will be going back with Iforged 3pc wheels.

I'm running "viper rubber" w/18x12 rear and 335/30/18. And slammed 2". Going to a 345 MT ET street when it comes out. Here's a few shots of it. Going to lower the rear another .5in and do a mini tub this summer. During hard cornering they still rub the inner fenderwells (stock).

93form: Where did you buy 18x12 ZO6's, or did you have them widened? Your sig says 295/335 for the rears. Are you running the 295's in those pics, they don't look like 335's. Do you know exactly how wide the tire is mounted on the rim? Thanks.

Thanks, running michelin pilot sports F/R. I'm very impressed with them as far as grip in wet and dry and slow wear. However I'm going to have to get some DRs cause as you can imagine, there are traction issues w/740rwtq. And in keeping with the softer compound out back, I'm prob going w/305 or 315 nitto 555R2s up front.
