Phat Tires

[cobra777]

Hey guys. I need some advice. Looking to get some new tires on the Saleen. As I'm sure you know the wheels are 18x9 on the front and 18x10 on the rear. The size tires that are on it are 255-35-18 (front) and 285-30-18 (rear). My questions is, I have a friend that is selling a set of tires that are a slightly different in size. I am curious if anyone else is running these sizes, or know if it will fit. ( and look/perform good) The new tires would be 285-35-18 (front) and 315-35-18 (rear) What do you think? :shrug:

The fronts won't be as big a deal, but those rear tires are tall. You'll have alot more sidewall in the rear than the front.

You might have to roll the quarter panels for the rear. I run that size rear tire and my quarters kept hitting and putting cuts in my tire, so I rolled them. I think you are going to have problems with the fronts scrubbing during sharp turns.

The fronts are a little to big. The rears should be fine. A lot of people run that size with no problems.

Yeah, I think the rears should be fine but the fronts seem a little too wide, I've got 275's in the front and the car sways sometimes.

I'm running 265/35/18's in the front and 315/30/18's in the rear..

Rear will be fine, fronts are to wide.

The rear tire sounds fine, the 285 is big for a front tire.

On a 10" wide rear rim?

On a 10" wide rear rim?

Ummm yep... most guys that run 315s here are on 10 or 10.5" rims.. there's no bulge whatsoever

I run 10's in the rear with a 315 and 275 up front and i think thats perfect imo. But 285 seems to wide for the fronts
