[QUOTE="Smackiavelli, post: 13841086, member: 136903"] OP: If you opt for the MPSS 315s, you'd be best served to refrain from attempting a jerry job on the stock rims. I have a pair of MPSS 315s sitting in my office (the only place in Casa Smackiavelli safe from the determined efforts of my two behemothic, testicularly-equipped canines to mark them) awaiting the arrival of their companion rims. My measurements show the MPSS 315s to be a full two inches wider than the stock GY 285s (caveat: this assessment has been made by a wordmatician who experiences the challenge of solving Fermat's Last Theorem every time he counts the number of wheels on his Shelby). Like Senor 2112 (if I'm not mistaken), I ordered 11" Forgestar F14s on which I plan to mount the rear meats (9.5" for the 275/40/19 fronts). All indications are that for the Michelins, if not for many 315s, 11" rims represent the ideal mate. I'm sure for the brands that are not pushing the boundaries of their sizes, as do the Michelins, a 10.5" wheel is suitable for 315s. I agree with Nawwwwww-tuuuuuuun, however, that 295 is about as wide as you should go on the stock (rear) rims if you choose the MPSSes. Good luck and may The Traction be with you. [/QUOTE]
