[QUOTE="Dinosgt, post: 15652397, member: 169099"] That picture is utterly amazing. Thanks for posting it. I just went through the 'find a 305 tire that tucks in the rear' nightmare for six months and found exactly what catmonkey and others have been talking about - There is little rhyme or reason to this stuff. I had custom offsets done, along with assurances from the wheel package guys that my combination would work - but only to find it didnt - mostly because Michelin makes some crazy wide rubber for given 'size' I called engineers at Michelin, tire reps, tuners, wheel makers etc and couldn't get a read on what will work. Turns out, had I gone with a different OE in the same width, it would have been fine. But I already owned 2k worth of rubber and wanted a good fit. Ended up with a 11 rim with a 58 mm offset for a MPSS cup 2 that properly 'fit' on the car, mostly thanks to the help of members on this site. Thanks to all for sharing this stuff. It's eye opening.
