Im looking at putting 355s on the rear and 285s up front on aftermarket finspeed rims that match the stock z06 rim specs. I know the fronts wont have a problem, but going from 325 to 355's in the rear is an increase in tire width of something like 1.18 inches, so you figure 0.6 inches left and right on the rim. Is it going to look like its getting sucked in or have problems with the bead because its cupped around the rim funny? I know a few people are saying it clears the fenders. Btw they are not run flats, standard blackwall.

Pics anyone? I know a handful of you guys took advantage of the tirerack closeout on 355s.

Side note, I have 325 continentals on the rear and it looks like A**. Looks like its sucking on to the rim like a lowered ricer but they seem to handle alright.

Did you end up getting the tires? If so, any issues?

Yes I did get the tires. I have not yet put them on since I still have good tread on my current setup. But I can say that they are MASSIVE. They dwarf the 325's when side by side

This is the tread that was going for the 355 pirelli's rear and 285 pirelli fronts. I have them on and they fit well. Not problems with anything. I have already done 2 auto x and one HPDE day.

tires are brought in a bit - but not too bad in my opinion. The increase in F & R tire ratio heights bother me more.

Glad they worked well. That's good to hear. I was a little worried that they wouldn't get a good bead on the rim, or would possibly stick out to where the rear tires would grab fender on full suspension compression. But if you were autoXing with them without problems then thats solid.

Also, how did you get the crips tailpipe audio in your video? mic/gopro?Sounds awesome

I used the audio from the gopro that was looking backwards. I had is suction cupped right down by the tailpipes.
