Bridgestone RE-11's mounted

Yep. 305 is technically a little too wide for a 10" rim so it's not optimal, it will still work though, it's just going to function more like a 295.

That's awesome! props to you for getting detail in the black tires on a white car.

Do us a BIG favor PLEASE!!!!

Take some pics of the rear of the car more straight-on from the rear so we can see how FAT those look from the back.

If I had any doubts about buying this car now I have no doubts this car is a priority for me. Been able to fit a 305s in the back makes a world of sense to me.

I put some 275 BF goodrich DR on my BMW 335i and I droped my times 6 tenths of a second in the 1/4 mile and increased my speeds about 3 miles, I only went from 255s to 275's. Now knowing that you can fit nicely 305's on the Z rear rims it just opens a whole new world of possibilities for this car. What an awesome car!!

By the way, your car looks absolutely killer.

At the last auto-x they killed everyone, but the weather was abnormally cold and a little damp. It's not everyday you get to beat everyone on R-compounds.

This Saturday I'll get to test them with a little heat. Weather forecast is for mid 80's.

Awesome tires! We run them on everything since the RE01R is no longer.

There's a new option for a285/35R19 tire. Would this option be better than the 305 for the rear?

A 255/35 front with a 285/35 rear could work nicely, but it will depend on them posting the exact specs.

However be warned that these tires are designed as a auto-cross competition tire, not necessarily the best street tire option.
