what's the widest that will fit on a 18x10 under our cars ? I got my rear fenders rolled, and now I have the correct year rear end under my car and I need much wider than these 285's. Just wondered if I can get a 335 on there and if so how it looks on 18x10's.

thanks

also what's a good size to get for a drag wheel and 15in drag tire with my power levels ?

I have seen people put 325 under them with rolled fenders. I have 315 nitto DRs right now and I have clearance on mine and have no rolled fenders. Also my rims are 18X10 saleen wheels. If you go to a 335 I think you may have to clearance some of the suspension components but not totally sure. I do know that the 315 nittos hook pretty hard on the street and I have right now 418rwhp on my car and have no issues unless I drop the clutch hard then they will spin. I am very pleased with those tires and never plan on changing them. Hope that helps

widest drag radial is a bfg 315/30/18(bfgs run wider than any other brand) I have bfg 295/35/18 drag radials and they even bulge on my 18x10 they are more like a 315 and the 315 bfgs are more like a 330-335.






this is the bulge with a 295 bfg drag

335 will fit. But you will rub like hell. 315's will accomplish your task, unless you plan on having a 1000hp car....

If you do plan on getting 335's. Expect to roll your fenders and grind out our fenderwell's.

the size difference between 315 and 335 is almost unnoticeable to the eye. i bet most people that have 335's have people ask them all the time "are those 315's?"

those are 305/35/18 nittos, not 315.....

I have the same tire on my Z06 and love them.

Also, what else did you do to get to 418rwhp? I gave you the car with 360rwhp...

I dont understand why you want so much tire.. a 315 should be way more than enough..

I wouldnt do more than a 315 on a 10 inch width..

I have 315's with 18x10's...

I still have 1.5" of clearance on the inside of the wheel..

I will run a 335 on a 19x11 when I order my True Forged wheels..

But I don't have quads and I have side exhaust.. The exhaust tips would have been the limiting factor before...
