315 or 335 have been done by a lot of guys, only mod usually needed is flipping (or removing) the quad shocks

^^^ What he said. Plus, if you remove the quad you may or may not get some wheel hop. Best thing would be to do aftermarket upper and lower CA`s, and depending on the wheel used and the back spacing, you may have to roll the lip on the rear fender.

275 is probably the biggest withou touching anything, flippin the quad "should" give you room for 295-315 ish...

i had 335s and had to bang in some fender with a hammer and bend the brake line bracket and roll my fenders.

315's are an easy fit. I don't have quad shocks anymore, but I do have 3 inch tail pipes from the axle back and still have clearance for 315's. I don't have any good pictures of them as the car is garage bound right now. :crybaby2:

Im running 295 35 r18's in back on a 10" wheel, and it only rubs in hard left corners (think track duty). i also have no quad shocks, but if you have aftermarket control arms, get rid of the quad shocks alltogether.

Gotta disagree with that one, 335s would look a hell of a lot better than some 205s. Besides most people that run 335s squeeze them onto a 10" rim anyways so they're like the same width as 315s.

Also something else too is most D/R want a bigger rim with smaller tire. For instance Hoosier 275/40/17 DR they recommend at least a 10" wide rim. If your not worried about how long the tire last just do whatever otherwise see what the tire manufacturer recommends.

You made a post to make that comment???? OVBIOUSLY 205's in the rear would look terrible on the rear. My point is that TOOO wide of a tire looks just as bad as not enoug tire like a 245...

Anything smaller than 275 looks too small IMO, and anything wider than a 315 MT looks too wide, and this is for the rear. Just my opinion.
