Question 325's or 275's

Well right now my T/A is lowered on sportlines (2") and the widest i can fit are 275's.

Im planning on doing a 408 N/A build.


I'm thinking about raising my car so i can fit 325's what do you think?

Go 325s! Every time I look at my 275's I want to punch myself in the face.

I don't run them normally just tried them. They were ZR1 wheels with the 50mm offset. The Ace Slicks will fit also, 18x11 with 53mm offset, that's what I'm going with.

You will most likely want to roll the fender, as it will just be safer if you go the the road course much, which is what my car is setup for.

275 Drag Radials will do just fine with a 408. They did fine on my TT 346. I'm stepping up to a 315 but just for looks, I will more than likely get the same amount of traction as the 275's. Sidewall is what gives you traction, not width. Width will only make your car hold a corner better.

My junk with BMR lowering springs and 325s. Beat the **** out of the inner fender plus some trimming of the bumpstop. Fits great, hooks great.

Just to reopen this thread.

Right now... I have 17's in the front and 18's in the back... Should i grab some 17 Z06's for the back or go to 15's?
