Default tire size?

I just had some 315's mounted on my 11" wheels and the wheel still looks like it could use some more tire. Is anyone running something wider on the wheels and still look good. I am adding some GS flares soon. I use the car for Solo also and was thinking about using the 315 tires up front.

I've seen a ZR1 with 335/35/17's on the rear (11's). Looked good. They were Michelin Pilot Sports...coincidentally if you go to Tirerack's website, they don't even offer the MSP's in 315's anymore, just 335's.

FWIW...I have 315 D3's on mine, they are plenty wide enough...

Maybe I need to take a look at them again. I was rushed getting the tires mounted over lunch and running home putting the wheels back on the car.

I just had some 315s on some 11" rims



The only thing to me is I'm going to lower it a little bit to give the wheel well a little fuller look. I put bfgoodrich kds on.
