acroy ...
The car has 17x9.5 wheels in front with 285/40 -17 tires.
However the rear drag radials were mounted on 17x11 wheels, while the regular rear tires are mounted on 18x11 wheels (such as shown in those last 2 photos I posted)
Maybe just me, but I can't even tell the difference between using a stock 12" wide rear wheel vs an aftermarket 11" wide rear wheel.
I mostly went with an 11" rear wheel because the tires I looked at that fit a 12" wheel were in the 30 and maybe 35 aspect ratio ... with the 11" wide rear wheels, I could get 40 aspect ratio tires (more sidewall)

17x11 in the rear for the 305/45 -17 drag radial tires
18x11 in the rear for the 295/40 -18 regular street tires.

Sorry, my mistake ... I said:
Rear:
Forgestar F14
17x11 . . (+45mm offset)
295/40 -18 Tires
__________________________
That should have said 18x11 on the rear for the 295/40 -18 rear street tires
I also corrected the post I made before

The 285/40 -17 front is 0.4" taller than the stock 275/35 -18
The 295/40 -18 rear is 0.6" taller than the stock 325/30 -19
Fills the wheel wells just a little better than with the stock tires.

What tires are on the OE wheels and how old are they? What part of Florida are you in? Northern FL is a day trip for me.

Thanks, that's a little too far for me.
