Anyone have a pic of 315s on the rear? If so, what size/offset wheel, and what was done - if anything- to the body?

I think they will fit without modification on a high offset 10.5, like a +35-43, though there will be a little bulge (ok for autox). I just don't want to order them and find out the hard way.

isn't 315 unsafe on a 10.5" wheel?

I wouldn't put them on for open tracking, but running tires a little oversized for the wheels is typical for autocrossers. They should be on an 11" wheel or larger, which I would do if I was going to run them on a road course. Same as running a 285 on a 9" wheel, which I quite enjoyed last year for autox.

Posting in the fat wheels and tires thread without disclosing details about your set up is a ban-able offense!

Ah, earlier in the thread - woops! Sorry, PR! I just saw that recent pic without specs! For anybody wondering:

19 X 9.5 +17 wrapped in Kuhmo SPT 245/35/19 (f)

19 X 10.5 +18 wrapped in Kuhmo SPT 285/35/19 (r)

I think 245 is a little bitty for this thread, and 285 is just on the edge. The car does look great though!

Fat tire wheel suggestions:
265/35/18 on a 18x9 +20
285/35/18 on a 18x10 +20

Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires(couldn't find RE11s on that size)

Any input?

I can't find RE11s wider than 275/35/18... I would run 295 but I can't find nothing good... I want something grippy(about to go turbo and do some drag racing)
