Which tire for 12" wide wheel?

I am in the process of a widebody conversion. Just doing the rear for now. Traction has become a problem

I ordered a set of repros from bob 19x 12 rear and 18x 8.5 front, but Im not sure what size tire to order. Im thinking either 325/30/19s, or 345/30/19s for the rear. Any body that has info on fitment for different brands would be a great help. I have Falken fk 452s on now, factory Z-51 sizes but they are alot narrower than the stock runflats were. I think the stock z06 size is the 325s. But I dont want to end up to narrow like the ones I have now. Thanks for your time

with the widebody I would go for 345, but the 325 will work fine too.

I ran 345/30/ZR19 Pilot Sports on the 12" Factory Reproductions and have since switched to iForged Precision 13". I found traction to be much better than the 305 Pilot PS2 I had previously on 11" rims.

Thanks for chiming in guys, I was worried the 345s would be too wide for a 12" wheel. I think ill try the Mich. ZPs

Here is a link to Michelin Tires:
http://www.michelinman.com/tires/ult...lot-sport-ps2/

Select the tire you are interested in, then scroll down to the bottom and select SPEC. It will give all info including recommended wheel widths.
