BlackSRT-6..?? Your post says you run 285-30-18 on the rear. Was that a typo mistake or have you changed from 19" to 18" on the rear??? Don

I run BFG'S....have had alot of fun with them and been good to me in the rain...I run the KDW's

275/35r-19 BFG G-force KDW on rears for fun!

275/40r-17 Mickey Thompson ET Streets for serious fun!

Been working great so far for me,Even though I did just tear a tire off the rim at the track....but thats a different story.

K.K.

You are correct. 245/35 without spacer. 245/30 with 3mm spacer.

I run 295/30 19 Conti SC2's on the rear on the factory rims...............no rubbing no issues. They were horrible to mount up and are technically too wide for the rim(285 is the maximum "recommended" width). They are/were supposed to go on a Porsche 911 Turbo. I got them for $100/each brand new so I couldn't pass them up.


Ohh; but I wouldn't recommend buying Contis if you want traction because all I do is spin these tires all the way up to 85mph(when downshifting on the freeway). They are awesome for drifting corners though since they have no sidewall flex.

Could you get a picture of 295/30 on the factory rims? That is exactly what I want... I was afraid I would need new wheels... and I may get them. But I'd like to see what they look like on the factory wheels.

Wow, so it is possible... haha. The SRT6 rear wheels are also 255mm yes? If so, wow. That looks bold right there! When I get new tires I may go with that... 285 or 295. I hope they do not charge me up a wall when they mount and balance them.

Moparrbust, Why the hell would I be looking at tires with that gorgeous woman in the shot. I was kind of hoping you had a few more shots of her. Is that your honey? If so lucky guy!

Yea beafy huh! One of the reasons I didnt go bigger than 275s is because in the tire I was looking at to go to a tire wider than 275 added another 100$ per tire, vs the 8$ per tire to go from 255 to 275.
