Wheel set up question

Ould 245s in the front and 315s in the back look stupid on a DD?

Hey,


That is actually a really popular, and in my opinion, an awesome looking set up.


Particularly on the SN95s and newer Mustangs, this set up has been extremely popular. It really gives the car an old school muscle car look in my opinion, which I really like.


The only downside to this is that you cannot rotate the tires, but many people find the look to be worth going through tires a little quicker.


I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch. Good luck!

How long do you think a set of nittos will last if there not rotated?

A lot will still depend on driving habits, namely how hard you like to take turns and do burnouts. However, the way most people drive, I would say you will get a solid 20k plus out of them. If you really take it easy on them, you might be able to get close to 30k, but anything more is really pushing it.


I hope this helps!

I imagine you wouldn't have any problem hooking up with 315s. That would take what 11 in wide rims?

I've not done much rotation on my BFGs, but they'll get about 28k on them. That seems to be about the regular with sportscar tires. Seems to be a tradeoff between traction and longevity.
