LOL - that pic was from Aug '06 . On Saturday, I rolled the Z out to wash it, but it started to snow, so I rolled it back into the garage (Weather forcast was for rain/snow most of Sunday too)...Sunday morning when I woke up, I had 2-3" of snow on the grass, and 1" on the roads - so I changed to my OE wheels which actually have some tread on the tires.

nice! I still love those works...too bad I sold them
IMO the RPF1's don't look as nice, but they weigh less and cost less...so for autoX/track days, they're one of the best deals out there.

Pretty nice Z man! I was searching on how wide of tires I could fit on my wheels currently and came across this thread. Thought maybe you guys could help me out with a quick question. I am currently running a 9.5" rear wheel and I am looking to getting into some new rear tires due to a recent blowout on my 275's. Was wondering if you guys new for sure if I would be having any bulge issues or needing fender rolling on a set of 295/35/19 KDW's. I am on stock ride height for now, looking to upgrade the suspension in the near future so I figured I'd ask on the rubbing issue now before I got into it. Hope you guys can help!

it should fit w/out much fuss..the tire will buldge a bit, but I like how that looks.
need more info about the car/wheels to know if it'll rub or not. (offset, camber,...)

He put 305s on the rear 18x10 +38. Not sure what he used for the spacer. 305s can fit on 10-11" wheels with the right offset. My wheels are 10.5" with the 305 and are +43. I run a 15mm spacer to push them out a bit and net a +28 wheel, but they didn't hit the shock tower b4 the spacer. The 295 on the front is amazing though.

did you have any luck with the 305 on the 10.5 +15?
if so, what are the specs? ride height, camber, anything else that matters that i cant think of at the moment?

well i don't mind the rolling the fenders, in fact i'm sure the fenders will need to be rolled. I just don't wanna "pull" the fenders. 305 is actually more than i'm looking for, i want to be able to fit 295 on there without pulling the fenders. so far the only example i found with a 295 or bigger on the 10.5 +15 spec had rolled and pulled fenders. I don't remember who exactly that was though. but he pulled his fenders before test fitting, so there is still a possibility of 295's fitting with just rolled fenders. I know tires vary and all between brands and 295 doesn't equal 295. so i don't need anyone to explain that to me.

I planned to start w/ a 285 Front, 295 Rear...then to step up to a larger size if my fenders could fit them - Hoosier's weren't available in a 285/17, only a 285/18.
*FWIW, I rolled my fenders a few weeks back, and found out that I could fit a 315 in the rear, and a 295 up front - FTW! Tire Rack was nice enough to let me return my 285's...just got these mounted this week!
