can i run a taller tire?
#2
1) Is the car lowered?
Stock or 1LE springs (even a bit higher than stock) will give you more room to work with... lowering springs may be a problem depending how tall you want to run. Stiffer shocks may also help prevent bottoming out on the tire, but ride quality may suffer.
2) Are we talking just the rear tires? or all 4?
Are you trying to fill the wheel wells? Or give an aggressive stance?
3) Did you run GS-offset (ZR1-replicas) and hammer in inner fender well? or are you acually running ZR1 wheels and rolled the wheel well lip? I have a feeling a the rolled lip may be easier to fit a taller tire...
4) Check your clearances, each car/wheel/rear can have tolerances that build up to give different clearances. Support the car, remove the rear springs, and jack the rear up (with tires mounted) to see where you'll hit next... massage/roll as needed.
I've been tempted to go with 58" diameter tires as well... should help with fuel economy. :p
