Need some help with Tires
Can anyone help me? I have a 88 Z28 with about 400hp. I want the widest possible tire I can get for my car with out cutting my finder well. I currently have P295/50R15 in back and skinnys up front. So my question is I want a wide tire in say a 17" rim. My tire now measures 11" across. Can I get a wider tire than what Ive got now in a 17? Can anyone help me out?

Probably not. I think an 11" wide is as wide as will fit without any fender mods. 335/35 ZR17 I think.
