Since the original poster has an LS2 I doubt he ever went to 325 tires...i was assuming he made the jump from 285 to 345....60mm

Congrats! Its tough getting into the 11's for sure. Just did it again in my C3 back a couple of weeks ago and my son finally made too with an 11.97 in his Cobra.

Next step is to try and get my C6 there.....long way to go yet! Might go L92/L76 route like you did....

Are you posting info about your project anywhere?
not much of a project, really. Just the caravaggio rear fenders, ps2 275 fronts, 345 rears, and forgeline wheels. Nothing new here, although I haven't seen it in monty red, which is what I have...and in a vert.

I'll post pics as soon as its done, of course. Hoping it looks sharp....it better, for the money its costing me.

You're right, my train of thought is changing MY 325's to either the Nitto 345's or M PS2's in 345 size. My bad.:o

True! I bet it will be great!
And I'm sure you'll enjoy the extra grab of the new tires. I'll be anxious to see your pics when you have them.
