Anyone try 325/30/19 3rs in the front?

Looking to use a set of rear tires in the front of my ZLE for track - any feedback on using the rear tires upfront? Fitment and performance? Thx

335 won't fit up front without serious poke and a big spacer. If you are ok with about 2 inches of tire outside the fender and a huge spacer then yes you can run it. Not sure how well it will clear going lock to lock though.

I run 315/680/18 up front on my ZLE, the section width and diameter are only a little bigger than the 305/30/19 GYSC3R, and at full lock the outer edge of these 315/680/18s rub the center of the backside fender liner. I have to remember not to turn the wheel that far :-)

325/30/19 has a bigger section width, they are not a good choice.

305 to 325 is 0.8 inches ....I would have thought outside of full lock it should not be a big deal?

Perhaps the two tires being different brands may have played a role too? What was the 315 brand? Thx

I just put 305/30R19 on 11" wheels on my regular ZL1, it is tight! It may only be 0.8" but you are at the limit to start with nearly.

I've seen 2 ZLEs tracking with the 325 G3rs on the front 11" rims, they fit.

Yes, that I realize that may be a factor. The 315/680/18 are Pirelli DH slicks, as non-DOT racing slicks the shoulders are different than GY3R, they are very squared off.

Those running 325’s up front on ZLE’s, I assume you’re talking about mounting on an OEM 19x11 rim? Did you lose turn-in or have any other negative effects?

Thanks!! Love the site for the ability to get good clean feedback.

Any thoughts on performance impact for 325 vs 305?
