Want to go wide at the track
I am looking into getting a set of rear wheels for the track to throw some cheater slicks on when I drag race.
Id like to go as wide as possible. My normal setup is 18x8.5 245/40/18 front, and 18x9.5 285/30/18 rear.
I would like to get something that will fit a 315 tire on the rear. I dont really care what the wheel looks like or what the rim diameter is. My searches didnt give me any real useful info.
What have you guys done. Or what do you suggest?
Thanks!

I got a couple things to interject:
1. Your existing setup appears that your front tire is much taller than the rear. I'd suggest running a 245/35 or 255/35 with the 285/30 rear. If you're gonna keep the 245/40 up front then get a 275/35 rear.
2. With regards to running a 315 tire.
i'm not sure what fender mods you have but you'll need to run a wheel with at least this fitment:
11.5" wide with +25 to be safe.
This is going to be a custom made wheel. That should give adequate backspacing depending on what tire pressure you're going to run in the rear. I'd say you have about 5-7mm of room between the tire and suspension.
