Hey guys about a month ago someone had a post on installing 305's on all fours said it worked pretty good cant seem to find for some reason anyway how do you think a 305f/ 345r setup work? Of course assuming that. The nesesary mods have been done to get the 345's on. Please excuse the grammar and spelling errors the touch screen on my phone is stuck on stupid

305's are huge. I have a hard time believing that they will fit without some serious modification.

Don't think 305 will fit on the front...

danraz98 · 06-02-2010, 08:31 AM

295's?

I think it depends on the diameter of the tire

If I'm not mistaken Pedders has 305's all around on the shop car.

Pedders has 305/30ZR19 all the way around. The 19" should have plenty of wheel clearance plus they lower the overall RPM to tire rotation ratio by about 10%. This looks like a great choice for the track but, the ground clearance seems a little low for the street.

Ok thx guys

toehead93 · 06-02-2010, 08:36 PM

The 305s fit because the car has coilovers. The stock springs are much wider and will cause clearance issues. Wheel size does not affect rpm or tire rotation, it is the size of the tires. If you have have 19" wheels with large enough sidewall you can get close to stock diameter and barely notice any difference. You can also use a smaller sidewall to reduce the diameter which will cause less rotation...but its the tires not wheels, you can do the same thing with 20" wheels.

Cool thx sounds good how do you think a setup like that would work far as handling turning radius and stuff like that goes

SS Drifter · 06-04-2010, 01:21 AM

The only issue with low tires on big rims is that is easy to damage a rim if you hit anything in the road (been there and done that.) Going with a smaller wheel should sheds some wheel weight and you can still have a shortert tire while maintanining some sidewall.
