Default 315 pics???

Anyone have pictures of 315 rear tires?? How far do they stick out?? I know these have been posted before but I can't seem to locate them on the forum. Thanks.

No pictures, my rear tires are 315's on 18"x11" Mallett wheels . They stick out 1/2"to 9/16" from the top of the fender.

I just installed a new set of painted Altec splash guards to protect the car more since the wheels stick out further than stock.

I'll have some in a couple weeks. Ordered some CCW classics with 18x11.5 rear wheel and 315 PS2 tires. I'll be sure to post a ton of pics once their mounted on the car.

You're gonna love the nice patch on the road. The only thing I found weird was going to a 25 series tire... So I had to decide... do I want a higher profile tire (305) or wider contact (315), since the 315 doesn't currently come in a 30 series or higher. I choose the better contact.

Good luck with your purchase and I hope you get what you really want, don't settle. My .02¢ deposited.

Mike , that looks great!
What size rims did you go with..18", but how wide
for the front and rear.
Also what exactly tire sizes did you get and what tires.
I like the 18" vs the 19"

Also, do you have any rubbing problems?
