    Has anyone out there put this size tire on the back of the 355? I'm not a big fan of 20" wheels but this combination matches the rolling circumfrance of the OEM set up so speedometer will remain constant and odometer will be accurate. Otherwise 305/19 or 315/19 are too small while the Z06 tire 335/30 19 is big and very heavy and only one manufacturer. Just thought I'd ask before dropping the $$$ and giving it a try. (Will use 265/30/19 up front) Thanks!

    I would go 1" inch rim diameter difference from front to rear maximum!!!

    2" difference will 'shrink' the size of the rear end of the car IMO, 20" is too big 'looking' for a 355 rear wheel. :eek:

    Never thought I'd see the day of "Dubs" on a 355! But to each his own.
    IMO, 19's at most on them, but 18's really do suit the car best.

    Sorry, IMHO 20" Dubs are just too much bling and don't fit the character of the car. 19" can be nice if fitted with the right tire configuration. A great example of a 19" wheel and tire look is on Looney23's 348. If Larry has pics of his car and can post them you will see what a great look it is. You can't go wrong with the 18" wheel as long as you load it up with a beefy set of rubber. Good luck, have fun, and do what makes you smile, that's the bottom line.

    The wheel looks great, it's the 20" size and tire package that imo looks bling.
    Wasn't there a post last month pics of 19" or 20" wheels?

    Hahaha, I like the look. 19s would be nice I think. 20s would work too.

    With such a low aspect ratio do not hit any potholes hard. A tire blow out and wheel damage can occur very easily.

    I agree 19" wheels is the biggest I would go on a 355 :eek:!!

    You are right!!! When they start getting too small you can get a blowout running over a credit card :eek:!!

    If you do it, post up photos because I'm thinking of upsizing my rims (if I'm able to keep my car).
