Default i ask yee again

ol' mighty westerners for your guidance, since w have the best taste, and also posted this in the tire section btw

what tire should i go with that rim 17x11

previous owner had 285s but i really want 305s on there

according to the sticky 305s would be ok

so what size

305/40 <---do they make that
305/35 <---do they make that
can i fit 315w on there with no mods, i will be dropping the car with eibach prokit after


and what is the best track/street tire. i want one that will hold out for a couple track passes and last at least 25k miles

i have 285 but only because i got the tires really cheap but up next im getting 305's or 315/30-18 in the rear...they will fit the only thing u will have to do is roll the inside of the fender...u should be good..i would go with 305/35-18 if i were u...but if u have 17'' u should go with 315's

well, with personal experience with toyo proxes t1r's, bfg's kumho's good year and last of all fuzion, my pick with the longest life and best traction is hands down toyo,

now i have 295's out back on a 18x10.5 rim i dont know what size you will be, but i think you should stick with 295's if you go any wider you may rub, i did after the pro kit, until i put slp lcas and panhard.
