I've searched, and will continue to search after posting, but havent found this answered safely just yet.

Car is an autocross/track car that will soon live on a trailer. I'm only "daily driving" 2-3 days a month until I finish motor swapping a couple of other cars I have, so, spare me the insight on how it'll handle in rain, puddles, streets, or picking up kids I dont have.

That out of the way: i'd like to run a 295/315 or 315/15, but it looks like i'd have to buy 4 wheels to make the 315*4 work, whereas it looks like i can go all 18's and make 295/315 work, right?

Thoughts/experiences? Thanks, all.

crap, i dont know what i'd typed in, but now im finding hits for it. looks like it'll work fine.

I run 315-30/18 all around on track and on street.

sean.b

oh damn, didnt think 315 on an 18 would fit?? thought that required 17??? oooooh also, are you doing that with 18x10.5?

charger21

Yes, 18x10.5 Z06 rear wheels at all 4.

Should be fine, I think 315 is the widest you can run without any rubbing.

Just a reminder, if you use AH, the rear tires need to be .5 to 1.5 inches larger in circumference.

Also Yes, but on 18X10.5 TSW wheels.

ordered my extra 2 18x10.5's earlier today. just debating between 295 and 315 tires now.. i hear 315 works the hubs harder, and they're a good bit pricier!

They probably do work the hubs a bit harder but the car turns in much better. Four square also gives you more flexibility in moving the tires around to maximize wear, which helps with the overall expense in the long run.
