got it. So, anybody considering going down to 19 and doing squared? I have to think the 305/30/20's will fit up front, hence so will a 305/35/19. That would not be a bad squared setup. I'll swap the rears to the front and check fitment in a week. Car is supposed to arrive on the 28th.

I'll probably start a thread on this unless you guys have some answers?

I'm curious how the 305 will look on the front. I have a feeling it will make the car look even better. It will likely stick the sidewall out a little further like the 5th gen zl1 and the tire being a little taller will help with the gap over the front tires. I'd also like know what a wider rear tire would look like and how wide would fit. A 325 maybe? Of course that would probably require wider wheels.

I think the 325 will work, no problem. I need to compare to the 43mm offset. What I'd really like to do is throw on a 355/30-19. THAT WOULD BE CRAZY AWESOME. Basically a Viper tire. Can't see it working though since it would require a 12" rim. Who know's...maybe.

So for now I am going to be running the 315/30/20 Toyo R888 on the rear. I have had good luck with a lot of power in the past with that tire. Curious to see what other people start to run with.

I'm looking at running 315/30/20 mpss.

If it'll handle 325's, I'd do that all day long. Only problem is I'm growing fond of these wheels, which would now render them useless.

Looks like a 325/30 20 will fit the factory wheel and I would think it would clear everything on the car still. It's just a 1/2" taller and wider.

I believe 315 was the max on the 5th gen, it would be nice if there is more room on the 6th.

Good choice... Since MT doesn't have that size I may go the same way. Possibly all the way around and then have a separate set of 18's for the strip.

On the staggered cars you have to stay with in the .5" to 1" range, go any higher than a 1" difference in the tire heights and you will trip the ABS and traction control computer.
