315/40/19's to tall?

[cudacam]

I picked up some used 315/40/19's of off ebay to see what they would look like on the cuda.  I really like the wide look but they may be a bit tall.  They measure 28.5".  I need a 315/40/18 but no one makes that size. What do you guys think?  I want a tire thats at least 26" tall.  305/35/18 may be the next option.

I like it. Do you have the ability to move the rear tires back some to help with fender clearance? Looks like you have a ladder bar setup? 28 inch tall tire is good, all depends on your rear gear ratio and driving habits. Taller tire makes for a bigger contact patch with same width tires.

it also will depend on what wheel you end up with.as far as width,looks really cool let me know what you end up with

Its a air bar 4-link set-up with the Dr. Diff 1" relocate.  Strange S60 with 3.54 gears.

I had some 29" tires on mine before, I think the height will work.  those things are huge/wide.  That will look killer!

if you can lenghten the 4 link slightly to move it away from the front edge of the wheel well it should be fine , looks great

Thanks.  The lowers really don't have much for adjustment.  I may visit with air ride to see if they can get me some a bit longer.

I have 28" tires on my car and they aren't that close to the front of the wheel well opening, a 1/2 inch taller shouldn't be so close to the sheetmetal IMO

I am using 285/30/20's for the rear of my 70 challenger on a 20X10 wheel, they measure 26.7  w/ 11.5" section width, 18's would have been my 2nd choice if i planned on more of a daily driver, but for a cruiser and to hit the local burger joints + carshows I figured "go big or go home" cars going on the rotisserie very shortly ill post some pics when its back on the ground with the wheel under it.       




PS love the pics, the more the merrier in seeing what everyones doing to fit these big wheel/tire combos under the Ebodies >>

  Thanks for the input guys.  I've ordered some adjustible lower arms from Air ride to move the axle aft a bit.  That should get me a little more clearance up   front.

  I don't have my rims yet, just mocking up some tires to see what will look good.  Right now the Boze Stingers are my front runners for choice.
