biggest 40 series tire?
biggest 40 series tire? Hey guys,
The back of my Camaro is raked pretty high because of the drag racing air bags and springs in the rear. I have BFG Drag Radials in the rear (315/35/17) and they're very small -- look goofy -- and do not fit the rear wheel well at all.
So I'm thinking outloud here... what is the widest 40 series tire I can put in the rear? a 315/40/17?
Thanks in advance,
-Dan

The largest 40 series 17 tire I see in my system is a 285.40.17. They are only .3" taller and they are 1.18" skinnier.
The only tire I see close to fitting your wants/needs would be a 335.35.17 but you would have to test fit it to see if it will fit, it is .79" wider and .55" taller.

I did make the post a little premature before conducting proper research. I think I am going to stick with a 315/35 and just remove some of the air in the bags. It seems like its the best bet. Nothing beats the look of the 315 from a side profile or rear vantage point. Yes, we're talking about a 17 inch rim.
Thanks again.
