I see you are running 28s on a 15inch wheel? I have 18x12 wheels sitting around and thinking about 345/35 MT street radials once i get the car back. When you had the 18x12 set up,did you ever consider running a 345/35 radial?

Yes, but I started with the 315/35/18 because the 18x12 +20 wheels were new to me, and i wanted to go on the safe side. The plan was to run the 315/35 and measure off them to see if I could go larger.

Turned out to be a wise decision... the +20 offset was too aggressive to go any wider than the 315/35 (with my like .5-.75 negative camber). Otherwise I am sure larger tires would have fit. I would go much more conservative on the offset and then use spacers to fine tune it. Thats what I did with my 28s since I wasnt sure what offset to use with that height... turned out what I got was perfect good looking fitment with some 10mm spacers, which is fine by me since I have ARP extended studs.
