I was under the impression that 315 was the biggest you could really go with our cars

If the Camaro guys can squeeze 335's under them, TA's should definitely be able to. I will have 335's after I wear out my rear 315's. If you don't want to deal with the headache of making 335's fit, and would like a smaller headache, get some Goodyear, or BFG 315's (they generally run alot wider than Nitto, Sumitomo, or whatever the new cheap one is), and throw those under there.

go with 315's. 335's are too much of a pain to get to fit

Google it? A good saying is, If you have to ask how much, you cant afford it. If you ask why, you dont deserve it.

You Have To Mini Tub To Get A 335 To Fit. It Is Tuff To Get A 315 To Fit.

You can get 335's to fit on there, you just need a big hammer. . .

I think that is quite possibly the dumbest saying I have ever heard. It really is just stupid.

How is that the dumbest saying? It makes plenty of sense. Maybe ignorance is your thing?

Because 275's are more expensive than a 315/335.
