to be honest it really makes no sense to get a regular street tire in a 305 or 315 bc its still a street tire and not going to help you hook up any better.i have 295/35/18s on mine in the bfg kdw2s and it doesnt hook any better.if your going to go that big at least go drag radial otherwise your just wasting money.

i got 315's because they fill out the fender wells nice. i had 275's before and they looked tiny. i wouldnt have wasted my money getting something not much bigger like 295's, if i wasnt satisfied with how they looked.

my 295s fill out my wheelwell pretty good i think.the tire can really only go as big as your rim essentially without bulging.so regardless,if your rim is 10 inches wide,your rim is ten inches wide haha.its not gunna get bigger bc you put a 315 on it.
these are the best i have for rear shots right now.not very good shots but it looks fine to me.

Most people like hte staggered look and they aren't doing it to improve traction, they are doing it for cosmetic appeal. I have 315 street tires on my 95 but I have a set of dr's on 98 cobra wheels for the track since I don't care to be buying dr's once a year.
