Default LG and ForgeLine ask....how wide do you want to go? **375 tire inside**

Hi guys,


So 325's are not enough? 345's are just way over done now, so you want to be different.

How about a 375 tire?

ForgeLine Motorsports, a long standing high quality wheel manufacturer just announced it's new 21" wheel line.

To show this off an out standing DE3S wheel in 20x11 front and 21x13 rears. Wrapping these wheels are new Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires with a 295-25-20 front and 375-20-21 rear.

Wheels are shown with a gloss black powder coated lip and inner barrel of the wheel. The centers were then coated and frosted on the front surface to add a more 3-D look to the set. Of course you can choose any color and finish options as you would like.

sick...and the first set of 21" that didn't look like they belong in a hip hop video. Not keen on the color of the face of the spokes, but as you said we have our choice of finishes.

Not sure, I just got the pictures from ForgeLine and the car was done there at the factory.

I believe the car is lowered

Tire Rack doesn't list an overall width for the Pirelli 375 but it lists a tread width of 13.1 inches. The newest Michelin PS2 ZP (run flat) in 325 size shows tread width of 12.3 inches. The stock Goodyears in 325 show tread width of 11.6. My Michelin 345 ZP (run flat) "Vipers" show 12.2.

So you're talkin' an extra 1.5 inches of tread over the stock Goodyears (and the overall diameter is almost identical )

I've been told the 375/20/21 is narrower than the 355/25/21.

I've had doubts because I've seen people run the 375 tire on a 12" wide wheel. I would think you would need a 14" wide wheel if it was a true 375.

I do not believe they have 21's in all designs yet but I know there is at least 5 or 6 with more on the way. I'll get a full run down from the guys on Monday

Get notified of new replies

I will tell you this...I have the Michelin ZP 325 on my car and it looks narrower than the GoodYears by 0.25" or so.....

I think there might be a typo on the 345's being 26.7" wide though


They are very close in tire height which makes them very appealing. I haven't seen any other specs on them other than the 13.1 width you have seen, so yes I think it is narrow for a 375 tire, but most certainly wider than the others. If tread width is 13.1 then sectional width must be 13.5 to 13.7 ish.

Thanks. It was late. That number is the diameter. The 345 Vipers show tread width of 12.2". I will edit...
