So is this a secret? I'm asking for sizes and offsets.. PM me if you would rather keep it private?

Realistically, I'm wondering how wide I can go with GT2 spec wheels. I'm already running them with 315s and a 7mm spacer and there is some room to play with both inside and out.

How about the fronts? What sizes are you running there? I run 255/35 on stock 8" twists, have yet to try them on my GT2 8.5" wheels but i bet they fit no problem.

Hey Alex, curious with the larger 335's seems like you are limited to suspension set ups as the space get's pretty cramped and doesn't allow enough room to tweak your settings. Seem like with 335's your window of tweaking is very small.

hey oak, absolutely correct.. unless you have a bunch of adjustable suspension arms and very tweakable suspension it's a no no and even then the alignment _will_ be aggressive It's not something I'd recommend ***** nilly
