What are the widest tires street legal that can fit a ZR-1 (with aftermarket wheels)?

Bob - Would you mind posting a pic from the rear, of your tires? A complete rear shot .... if possible ?

Anyone had experience going from 315 to 335 ??
thanks:

I am running with that exact configuration, Pilot Sport PS2's. I checked with Michelin tech and they said that they would be fine on my stock '93 wheels. The fit well, no sidewall bulge, they perform perfectly. I used to use Goodyear GS-D3's but they were unavailable at the time. Comparing the two, I'll stick with these. I must admit that the Goodyear's are better in wet conditions, but the rubber got hard pretty quickly. There is a two mile an hour difference in speedometer reading.

The fronts on the Callaway are what? 275 or 285?

Dom, They were 285 F1. I now have 275 PS2.

Curious about any issues w ABS. I went from 275s up front to 285s due to the
bump 325s to 345s.

I've run a variety of sizes and degrees of stagger on 2 different C4s and have found the ABS to be very accommodating.

Actually, I thought I was just never triggering it.

Then one day I had a bad hub the day before an event. Only 1 good spare and it was from the other car, bolts up fine but no ABS. I figured that'd be OK since I "never" feel the ABS kick in.

Sure enough I had lockup at every hard brake & turn. Seems I use the hell out of the ABS but never knew it.

PS I've been running 315/335 17's for a long time, and pretty much cantilevered at that - just lacking tread . Just a couple small rubs - nothing damaging.

HTH,

335/30/ZR18 Toyo R888 Proxes just barely fit between the lift plates.

If I have it centered perfectly, the tires fit exactly at the same width as my lift plates.






I like em.

Wow, those are wider then my ex gf's rump

Dom,
If you need them I can turn you out a set of custom count reluctor wheels. Needed them for mine when I went staggered 285/35R18s and 345/30R19s so the ABS and ASR sytem alarm light would stop freaking out after a few miles. I know a few guys who have gone with this tire size combo and did'nt have an issue but I wasn't so lucky. At least I know my ABS and ASR systems are fully functional.
