Stock wheels with wider tires?
Got a 98 Z and wanting to put 305s or 315s on it. Can't find any tires in the sizes I'm looking for ( 315/40 or 305/40 ). I checked tirerack and discounttires and only found some 305/50/16 with ugly white letters...not it.
Anyone know of any tires these size that I can google?
*edit* Damnit, now that I think about it, would tires that wide fit the stock rims?Last edited by Kamauxx; 10-17-2007 at 06:43 PM.

Another question. Can I go with DRs on a stock rear putting out about 390 rwhp? Or would I be in danger of breaking the rear?
And also, can DRs be driven in rain or on a regular daily basis in the summer/spring months?

stock wheels shouldn't take wider than 275/40-17 tires.
315s will be 315/35-17 with the exact same diameter as the stock sizes... but recommend getting 17x11 for those.
If you want wider tires, get wider wheels.Eugenio_SS

i see you wrote 16". if you are using the stock 16" wheels, then a 255/50-16 would be the widest to go. the stock wheels are 8" wide.
