305 all around? I am wondering what it would take to get 305s on all 4 corners? I am thinking that I just need spacers, fender rolled and the right offset wheels. Has anyone done this yet or know if there is something that I am missing in all this?
Thanks

the only 305 tires i know are 305/35/18s and they are 26.4 or something inches tall and drag radials.. a 305/30/18 would be about an inch shorter..
Youd want something around stock heignt 25.5 inches and i really think 295/35s would be pushing it but could be done with the correct offset.. Theyd probably still rub in the front when turning though.
what size wheels are you talking about

I'm in the process of getting 315s on all 4 corners.
One of the biggest challenges you will have is gettting street tires, particularly at this time of year.
Certain wheels, for example, ZR1s are availaible in both 17x11 in 50 offset and 17x11 in 36 offset.
If your ride is lowered, the task becomes more diffucult with the following possible mods:
(1) BMFH, (2) fender rolls, (3) wheel spacers, etc.

ok well your going to have problems with 305s.. although if you can find a wheel with the right offset in 18x10.5s you could use 315/30 falken rt615s or nitto nt-01s.. i ran the falkens on the back and theyre a great street/track tire.

would 315's on all 4 corners be suitable for a daily driver or would I just be crazy? I am trying to get as much cornering capability out of the car w/out lowering. I am going to be driving to UH in downtown Houston and the roads are horrible. I already lost a brake caliper bolt that wasn't torqued properly by the mechanic because of those roads.

The only people who run them are on road racing cars or autocross cars, and they only put them on at the track if they drive it there and take them off to go home...If you value your paint
if your wanting look or feel then you def dont want the same size tire all around. your tires will most likely stick out of the fenders on the front making it look like one of those lowriders with whitelines and gold 100000000 spoke wheels.
