Tire Sizing for '00 R

[loudog_jon]

What is the largest tire i can put on the rears for my R wheels. Stock has 265-40's, I am looking at the BFG KDW 265-40 fronts and (hopefully) 335-30 rears . if not, what would be a good combo for these wheels.

if anyone is interested there is a great tire calculator at: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

Thanks for the Help

I'm running 275/35/18 all around on cobra r2k wheels. They are not as tall but are wider. 04 GT Coupe

335's will not fit the 00r wheels biggest I would go is 295 or a 315 nitto drag.

What happens when we run bigger tires on the stock rims, will it rub on the fenders???? I found these 315s on sale at tirerack.com but I don't know if they will work on my stock rims?

I have those tire on a 17x10.5" rim. They are WAY to wide for stock rims.

Widest I've seen on the Y2K "R's" would be 295 Goodrich KD's

275/35/18 front, 285/35/18 rear would be the right choice.

I have 245/40 18 on a 98 cobra with eiback pro kit springs, will a 275/35 fit on my rear without rubbing or sticking out or should I go with a 265/35

275's should be fine
