I'd like to see pics of them mounted on a 5th gen if possible
My wheels are on the way and want to see this combo because I'm
Debating between the 325/50 (28")and the 390/45 (29.5)

I had the MT 325/50/15 on the car all year up until about 2 months ago. I'll search around this week if I can remember and grab any decent pics.

Awesome man thanks
That's more than likely what I'll be getting
I just seen
The 390/45 are for a 12" wide wheel

why would you want or need that much tire?

Chevrolade · 10-06-2014, 09:59 PM

To hook , why else? Lol I street race and my last 325/45 17"MH wouldn't hook so good after the 4k stall and 3:91s , so I did the conversion to 15s... Just want to see different tire combos but not many run 15s

What backspace are u running

BplumCrazy-SS · 10-07-2014, 07:04 AM

I'm pretty sure u will have to mini tub the rear to fit that wide

U will likely need to tub your car to fit that big of a tire. Although it may help you a tad with traction on the street, the extra tire rolling weight and resistance is going to hurt your track times compared to like a 28X10.
