Probably not. I recently just got “Eagle F1 3R Supercar” tires put on all 4 corners.

305s up front and 325s in the rear. No spacers needed for the rear. The shop told me they tried to fit a 325 on one of the front rims first and it didn’t fit.

Before this set, I had Cup 2s on all 4 corners but they were all 305.

So far, in my experience 325 in the rear seems far superior for accelerating from a dead stop and cornering.

Take a look at the Eagle F1 3Rs before pulling the trigger on a set of cup2s

Non needed, that's a 325 R3 on my car.

Thanks for the input fellas. From the looks it seems the sidewall sticks out a tiny bit. Any additional pics from side/the back would be appreciated. Overall, y'all are happy running a 325? I love the look of such a wide stream roller out back.

How do these compare to the trofeos? Have you ever ran a 325 trofeo for comparison or no? How's tread wear?

I have never ran 325 trofeos. I ran 305 trofeos and cup 2s before I got to the 3R.

3Rs tread wear is a lot slower than I expected for a 100 tread rating tire, and at 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of a cup 2/Trofeo with no performance difference at all for my kind of driving I’m going to stick with them from now on. I don’t get my tires anywhere near track temperature to justify spending Trofeo/ cup2 money.. but I also don’t want to change the appearance or performance of the car by cheaping out on tires with disgusting high sidewalls.. so the 3R is where I went

Nice! I'm guessing there's plenty of room between the rear side of the tire and the springs? There was some concern with that I believe.
