Yup, I hear ya, struggled with this concept for a while.

Consistent sidewall height to what you see on track oriented cars like the GTR, Z06 and Viper.
agreed, my buddy's Z06 is running the same 295/35/18 rear and large 275s up front...plenty 'o sidewall.

Pottsy is an unknown quantity at this point
Any chance of a wide angle side view photo of your car? I'm about to take the plunge on the same sizes. Thanks

I dig it, looks epic. I assume these are the same michelin tyres you had on the OEM hollow spoke alloys (8J and 11J?). Would you by any chance have a similar wide angle of your car on that set up?

The 295’s mount stretched on a 12” rim. You can see the tread runs 11 1/4 wide. The gap at the top is exaggerated by the rim protection on the side wall by 3/16. I’ve run the tire for 12,000 miles and the are wearing evenly.

On your opening/first post to this thread in 2015, there is an image of these tyres on turbo II OEM alloys. Was that your first set up on these tyres and do you have any side on photos of the whole car?

Yes that was my first set-up (these tires/sizes on stock twists and still awd). If you are looking for pics of these tires on twists, send me a picture of your car with the exact angle you are looking for and I will go through my photos.
