Handling with 315's on rear? Those with 275's on front and 315's on rear was there any neg. effect with handling when you went with the bigger tire on the rear?

Wrong way .... to fix a push with sway bars, you go up on rear bar or down on the front.
Maybe this link will help

11" is the only way to do it right.

well with my 275's on 10" rims and 315's on 11" rims it is fine. but the suspension and wheel base works for me the front wheels stick out just as much as the rear so wheel base stayed the same!
I also have every suspension piece available! And a very lightend car. So that helps! As far as handling goes " it's like I am on rails" and for straight line "drag racing" I am just ok.

what do your lap times tell you? do they increase, decrease or stay the same?
what about pressures? do all 4 tires increase in pressure the same amount? does one tire gain more pressure than the others?
what about tire temps? are the temps the same (or close) across the face of each tire? are all the tire temps close to the same?

Lap time inproves.
Tire pressure goes up?
Didn't check temp across the tire I know the temp going up is why the air preesure go up.
I will change all my tires over this summer to real race tires and see the differance.

Hey Joe, The thing that would concern me is tire rub, bigger might be better but if you have to worry about cutting a tire it's not worth it. Getting the correct wheel back spacing is key here, some guys roll there fenders and still have tire rub.
