If you go to the ride tech site and watch the video of the making of the 48 hour camero(section about wheels) they are 335's on that car

Originally it had 335 BFGs on it. They have since made the change to Falkens, which are 315/30/18.

Is there advantage to the 315 you think? Im running a 315 now and was thinking about going to a 335.

I talked to the guys at Ridetech this summer at Holley LS Fest and they said the difference in grip between the BFG 335's and the Falken 315's was dramatic! Said the BFG's didn't grip near as well, and the Falkens improved their track times by seconds in many cases.

Falken doesn't make the 615k in a 335, so that is as big as it gets. It still looks good on a 12" rim, so that is the tire I'm gonna run.

Can you run a 315 on a 12'' rim? Iknow there web site only recommends up to and 11.5'' rim. I would love to have more options. Wish I did a 19x12.

Here's how they look with 12" rims...

honestly i would run a 11.5" rim. That way if you want to run a 335 or 315 they will both fit on there nice. My 315s are perfect for me on a 11" wheel. They would still look pretty good on a 11.5 but my opinion is that would be too much stretch for a 12"

i see alot of supra guys running that

Isn't the 335 1" wider then the 315? am I correct. Im running a 315 on a 9.5" wheel now and it dosnt look to bad. Im do for a wheel change and figured I would go with a 335 this time.

a toyo r888 315/30/18 should be ran up to a 11.5" wheel and a 335/30/18 starts with a 11.5" wheel. That is your most ideal option. Go to tirerack and type in those sizes and you can see EVERYTHING you want to know about those tires

honestly i think a 315 tire will do everything a 335 will. I made the change from a 335 BFG to a 315 Falken and picked up almost 2 seconds on the autocross with just two runs and no suspension tuning.
