got new rims on!!!!

finally got the black z06 motorsport wheels on. i am disappointed in the rears. i put 315/30/18 michelins on that came of a dodge viper. they aren't anywhere as wide looking as the goodyear 315's. why's that? i would post pics but can't seem to figure out how do the damn thing. why won't copy and paste work? i have pics saved on yahoo but can't figure out the url...............

yes, vipers do come with 335's. and your point is??? that doesn't mean tire sizes can't change over the years.........................................

Re: got new rims on!!!!

a lot of tires in the same size are actually different widths... like nittos for example. they are one of the skinniest 275's i've ever seen. if you have 275 nittos and switch to BFG 275's Drag radials, you will notice almost an inch difference. different manufacturers measure width from different points.

exactly, i've noticed that. maybe since i'm used to running wide rears on both my cars i've just become used to them. my brother thought they looked wide as hell. i just like the aggressive look; the wider, the meaner if you ask me......
