You should be fine. On my Y2K the front and rears are the same diameter, no issues with TC or ABS

I have run w/o issue:

F 275/35/18 & 345/35/18 or 345/30/18
F 275/35/18 & 295/35/18
F CCW 16" skinny and 345/30/18 on back
I have even run 275/40/18 on all 4 with no issues.......

Only time I ever had one ( I knew I would) 275/35/18 front and 275/40/17 rear just at the drag strip though...........

are you going to tub the rear for the 335???


I dont see a problem with that combination.

I run 295F 315R 18 for the street and 295F 315R 17 for the track both with no problems...

there are guys running 315 all around on the track. ABS is still good, but I think TC is not.

As a matter of fact my TC doesn't like the type of tire I am running on the track either

Yes. I am setting a set of 18x10.5 thin spokes widened to 12" like ALLTHROTTLE&NOBOTTLE did. Hopefully the wheels will be done in a week or so, then I will start the tubbing project

The other question is, should I go ahead a set the tire size in the PCM to 25.91" or just leave it with the stock height?

I am running 17in V710s and at Limerock and WGI I have TC problems. I run without TC anyway so it is not a big deal, but if I forget to take it off I feel it working against me.

AH is always on

Look kinda normal from here


Now that the 97' is back on the ground, its time to fit these up and get some meat on them

I found a pretty good source for meats. I picked up a set of 275/35/18 and 335/30/18 with about 80% thead for $400 shipped
