Will 315's fit on Carrera 4S?
I've got coilovers, rolled fenders, 9.5" front and 11.0" rear wheels. The widest tires I've gone so far were 255/35 & 295/30 P Zeros, and 245/35 & 305/30 Hoosiers. These all fit without problem.
Now I'm thinking of running 265/35 & 315/30 P Zero Rossos. Anyone know if this will fit? I'm almost positive that the fronts will fit, as there's lots of room up there, but I don't know about the rears.

DJ,
I was told that the 305 Hoosier were larger than 305mm street tires. Look at what the actual width is for the P-Zero's and compare to the 305 Hoosiers. Looked on tire rack's site and they didn't have the specs for the tire you want. The Hoosier's show an 11.8" tread width and 13.1" for section width for the 305.
Sorry I can't give you anything definitive, keep us posted.

Hey Guys,
Do you need a significantly stiffer suspension (in addition to rolled fender lips) to run these larger sizes without scraping? I know Greg has 275 Hoosiers on the front of his track C2S, but it was my impression that he can only get away with this because of the JRZ suspension. There's literally less than a pinky width of room between the sidewall and fender lip.

I think the big variable is the offset of the wheel. You have a lot of room under the fender but to maximize it you have to figure out how to position the tire (for lack of a better technical term)within the wheel well.
Anir,if you look at your stock setup you have a lot of room between the fender and the inner tub, but your suspension will to some degree limit your choices since you will have more movement than a race or semi race suspension. Also you usually need to dial in a fair bit of neg camber when going with an oversized tire and with a stock suspension even when lowered the limiting factor is the size of the spring.
You can add an extra 1/2 inch of room or so by rolling the fenders but it is not something I would suggest you do to your car, it is not a delicate procedure.
