Whatever allows you lower the car to the proper height. I'd have to see a rear shot to see exactly how far past the lip of the fender those monsters are. You're not gonna see much of a difference between 305 and 315.

the car is cornered scale and at proper height it's def not slammed like some of the fd's on here..the suspension is setup to perform on the street/track not to bottom out on the highway or shows purposes. but you're right im not going to see much diff from 315's to 305's i might have to go with a 295 when i replace my rear tires. ill post a picture to show you that they dont stick out as much as ppl think they do..

Buuuut:

yokohama S.drive is a 300 (ie not too sticky) treadwear tire that doesnt come any wider than 275 in 17 and 18 inch diameters. Not really a high performance tire for a 600+ rwhp 20B.

305/30 is pretty tough to find, but here are some decent tires available in 295/30:
Yokohama Advan AD08<---- this is the yoko I recommend
Yokohama A048
Michelin PS2
BStone Potenza RE050A PP
Toyo R888
Michelin Pilot Sport Cups

Car looks great, but I can't help but think that engine bay would look better without all that blue! I'm bored so I photoshopped it:

NICE photoshop work......
I originally wanted to use all black fittings with the stainless steel but the fittings are limited and cost a bit more.

I could have gotten you black fittings, they're the same price. Where's your air filter?

Agree that a 300 is a pretty hard tire but be wary of comparing treadwear ratings. They are meaningless across tire manufacturers and really should only be used when comparing tires from the same manufacturer. However show me a tire with a 300 treadwear rating and...say a Hoosier...with a rating of 0 and I'd place good money that the 0 tire is a wee bit stickier than the 300

On a car car with that much power anything higher than a 60 tire would be criminal

Crispy

All the local performance shops had the black fittings priced anywhere from $2 to $7 dollars extra just because they were black anodized..

The filter is in the garage. Need to install it once I have her tuned.. Nothing will get in there either way... engine bay is tight and I have a belly pan.
