Default 325's fit

Well just wanted to let you all know after a long road of putting wider and wider tires on i have found the limit on the rear of these cars. Im confident in saying that a 325 is the widest possible tire you can put on a non-widebody is. It takes a lot of pulling, massaging, modifying and planning but it can be done. Now lets keep making performance gains on this platform guys!

What are the wheel specs (diameter. width, and offset)?

So why such a large tire when a 255 max summer tire will easily hold all of the stock power a 350 will throw at it?

FULL Megan arm and LCA setup? What alignment specs?

the rears are 20x11 offsets are in the high 50's and a 255 will not easilly hold the power launching off the hole. And yes its got all the rear links brought in to gain clearance and aligned to factory specs.

My BFG KDW IIs were perfect for off-the-line blasts; 255/35/19s at 34psi held the T/C at bay without a hint of spinning. Just had to replace them though with new rear tires (Kumhos) that are craptastic. Sure they're great in the wet, but they squeal and spin everywhere in the cold.

good for you. What im here to do is inform the community so when we outgrow this kiddie power/stanced stage were in like the isf guys are doing with their supercharger we can have some good performance builds. Most are still in that stretched tire sideways wheel thing. I just wanted to put this out there for future refference to someone doing a fast build as im working mine up to be
