If the plastic fender lining is removed from the rear...

can a 355/25/19 Pzero be put without rubbing ?

what about a 325 30 19 ?

355's are for Lambos and exotic cars, unless you chop up your car and make it wider.

I think the max you can run is a 335 tire with some minor fender modifications.

Alex, I have been wanting to ask for a long time but didn't want to offend you, so just kept quiet, but now I have to ask. Who is the hot babe and is she Russian? Hope you don't mind.

Steve, I know that Tom Kerr has been running 335s on his. He actually had the rear fender modified on the underside, and they had to re-weld the inner and outter seams together after rolling the fender. You have to be real careful when moving inboard with the tire. The turbo hoses are really really close in there! You can also get the GT2 inner fender liners for replacements, as they allow for a little more clearance...

I ran 335 X 18 Hoosiers most of last season (same as Tom's) with very little fender liner modification. Check the X section and diameter of the 19's and see how they compare. I let the liners modify themselves. The tires ate out the rear inside of both left and right and I just took the support brackets off and bent them a bit to bring the liners a bit further inward and backward. I rolled both fender wells but no welding anywhere. On the driver's side there was a problem with the compressor outlet/outlet hose. I had to loosen the bolts and clock the turbo around a bit for clearance. My rear wheel width is 12.5" and Tom's is 12 unless he has made a change.
