345 tire
OK.I. don't have a ZO-6 but I do have the rear brake cooling
set up. I run flares.
I have 325x19 on the rear. Does anyone run 345x19 on the rear
with the rear brake cooling tube still, installed.
Thanks, I need the rear brake cooling for the track.

345s are big arz tires and take a long time to get heat and grip. U sure U want to do that ?
and they would need 315s up front to balance somewhat or you WILL have too much under steer

It is my understanding that rear ducts are only an issue when doing the mini-tub as the wheel is pushed inwards. Since you have flares I am assuming you got your wheels with a wider lip and not a wider barrel. If that is true it shouldn't be an issue.
You could always take a measurement (while car is full weight on tires/suspension) and see if you have the extra 10mm of clearance....plus some of course....

with the 325 and look for a tire with a larger tread. My tire right
now is 11.8 in and I know there are tires over 12.5 in.
Thanks to everyone who responded.

Most likely because of Alignment and you run Nitto's which are a hair narrow then PS2's. Also do you run a spacer and if yes what size? After the alignment is when it was a bigger issue.
