Re: Rear wheels and tires.

I wanted a taller tire too... about an inch
Why?
1: Helps fill that back end out
2: Helps give it more grip at launch
3: Gives it the "jacked" look like the old muscle cars
4: Wouldn't have to lower the front end to gain #3

Does anyone think that if enough people request a tire size that a tire company will oblige?

How about a 318/40ZR17?? or in old school... 27x12.50/17
WITH more sizes than a few so we can have matching tread up front.
AND make it affordable... no $300 a darn tire!!
