On the rear there is a maximum tread width of 11 inches. On the front it's 8 in but if you drop the car there will be a rubbing problem when you turn the wheel al the way. If you wanted to go wider then that on the back you could order a wheel with a special backspacing. If you use the 11in rear tire I would recomend using the spacer for the rear disc brake cars.

If you don't mind them not "TUCKING" more of a drag kinda look, and a bit of bulge you can run 11" rims in the back.
This is a pic of 335's.........they are just the "while the car is being built".........tires
When she is done, 315's will be on there. Less bulge and maybe I can lower the rear a bit more.
car in pic has no tranny or engine
