Re: Best tire combo? (ken-rx)
I haven't researched tire prices extensively, but what I can tell you is that 18's all around with the tire sizes that ccw is using 275 35 18 and 335 30 18 is relatively cheap. Check it out at tire rack. You can buy those tire sizes as an oem viper pilot sport for alot cheaper than the regular pilot sports. My suggestion is to go to tire rack and look at the prices of some of the sizes you are interested in, and work from there. :thumbs:

Re: Best tire combo? (cnationshb)
Yes, I have done alot of research on this and 335's (mich, pilots wiil) on a 11.5 rim will fit with out tubbing. I chose to go 18's all the way around and 345's bfg drags in the back and I am tubbed. Much past 400 rwhp, there arent very many tires that will hook. I also think the bfg 315 are alittle bigger that the normal 315.

Re: Best tire combo? (esram)
my 315's are on 18x11.5 and i think that they are kinda bubbled out on the sides. meaning i think that the tires are a little too wide for the wheels. this is just my opinion though and you did say that the bfg dr's are a wide 315
