I think I'll go a little smaller than the 325's from what I've been hearing they are a bit much even though they look bad ***. Might go with some 295's or 315's

Stock ride height, all stock suspension. I run 275's on my ZR1's.

Stock ride height, huh! Well it looks like you have a drag setup in the pics, dont see the ZR1's. I have ZR1's as my daily drivers and then I'm going to run my race stars when they get here and it warms up. Nice ride though, there are alot of nice cars on here for sure.

Any buddy ran these yet MT P295/55/15 ET Street Radial. Apparently these are fairly new but look pretty bad *** and should be a pretty good size for our applications. Here is a link that has a little video that tells a little about them.

Will 28 inches by to tall of a tire for a stock ride height. I have yet to measure because my car has been on jacks with out wheels for the past month. Issues with the rear right caliper leaking after three calipers break line hole keeps stripping even though my chilton states 22 ftlbs. It's funny becasue the other 3 are not leaking so I'm now leaning towards my line my be bad, anyhow they should fit just fine correct?

Driving with skinnies is not bad at all as long as you don't forget you have them and try to hang corners.....Also watch closely for pot holes and such..

Pot holes will damage the rim, put a noticeable dent or worse maybe even loose control.

You also want to leave enough room between you and the car ahead of you, for sudden braking, there's not enough rubber to stop the car right away.
