Larger rear wheels

[Squerly]

There appears to be a huge amount of space in the rear fenderwell and I'm thinking of putting on some 315's. Anyone done this? Also, anyone have any BBS wheels that will accommodate 315's?

Are you having a problem with rear traction?

No, not really. I was being preemptive by going with the "bigger is better" philosophy...

OK, so I called BBS to see about getting a wheel that will accommodate a 315/30/18 or even better, a 345/30/18. Here is what they say...

A wheel of this nature for the GTS would have to be a pure bred BBS race wheel and would not be off the shelf. We can do it for sure but would
require a new drawing and a special wheel center to do the job correctly.

So I'm waiting for a price. Anyone need a set of very wide race wheels?

Try Riley motorsports. they have a thread down the page. I contacted them looking for 18X9 1/2. He didn't have them but did have 18x11 available. Good luck and lets have a report how those 315's work.
