do anyone have 315s out back on a f-body?

[35th-ANV-SS]

you know having them widened means your wheels are going to be pushed inward and you'd have to space the wheels outward right

Yes.

[tatertot91]

Yes.

On that kind of power
Would love to see you're car on widened 10 spoke LE wheels though

Is there such a thing as "ARP Super Long Wheel Studs"? If I do widen my wheels then I would look into buying something like that and 35th-ANV-SS should too

He knows he wants to buy some IForged Senekas
He'd have no problem hooking on 335s

I just happen to have a set for sale

315/35/17 on american racing torque thrust M 17X10.5 wheels (rear) 275/40/17 front

one question for those that have broke their rear end with the 315s. U using a manual with some heavy launches or maybe a stalled auto? I dont think a stock stall put that much stress on the rear. The reason i ask is b/c the next set im looking to get will have 315s out back so i was just wondering.

Put it this way- I went through my second rear less than two weeks after putting the 315's on my M6.

Thats a good question.I just put some 315 on the back of my camaro with a 3600 stall and i hope i dont break nothing. I dont race my car that much but it good to know.

I've been lucky so far. I've had my 315's for about 50k or so now, looking at 203k on a stock rear. The only difference being these Forgelines only weigh ~17 pounds apiece. The weight of the wheel does make a difference. I've done some hard launches and a few burnouts. Nothing major, but we are talking about a 10-bolt notorious for exploding on stock power. I can only say that I've been lucky.

Looks good man! Haha, I would have no problem taking a silver ws6 for my formy

[bberretta]

Artic's right- the C6 knock offs that came on my car are quite heavy, so they sure didn't help. I had my stock rear rebuilt (3.73 Richmond gear, all new bearings, Moser aluminum cover, Moser bearing cap studs) in November of 2009, the clutch in December of 2009, and the tires in July of 2010. Less than three weeks later I'm selling my soul and ordering a MidWest Chassis 9". Add together a new clutch and tires that actually grip, the rear just bit it quick. Split the posi nearly in half. I think that these cars have a bit of built in give- the 275's don't always hook up under launch and traction control saves the rear from too much abuse. You make it hook up and the weakest link in the chain is going to snap- in my case, the posi.

OK maybe I'm not up to speed on wheel spacing as I'll admit I've never read up on it.

Why can't I have my wheels widened from a 17X9 to a 17X10 so I can put a 315 tire on?

Will the tire/wheel rub on something on the inner part? I am guessing yes, but I swore I've seen multiple people buy a 17X10 or 17X11 wheel putting down big numbers.

With my current 275 tire, I have all kinds of room towards the outside before it even comes close to the fender.

17x11 wheels have an offset to compensate for the extra width, meaning the wheel pushes toward the outside of the fender a bit. Your 17.9's don't and can't have that offset when widened, because it's basically a lateral change in the position of your inner wheel and lug holes. You would have to compensate that with spacers I believe.

Somebody correct me if I'm way off base, but it's how I recall the things I've read up on. I was going to widen my ZR1's at one time.

[tatertot91]

You would need wheel adapters. if you used spacers you'd need hardened wheel studs if you don't have em. Widening the wheel increases your offset so the wheel will rub on the inner fender, you'd have to find the right size adapter.. I really don't know what kind of power they can hold up to though

You took the words right out of my mouth. Thats what was told to me when i was going to have my 10 spoke cut. so i went ahead and got me some 17x11 ZR1s.

Since i started this Thread its only right that i show you guys my 315s
I would like to thank all you guys for showing off your F-bodys with 315s on the back of them.
