pics please!
BEFORE
Now the rear 12.5J rim is wearing 315/35/17 Good Year (corvette)
Front is 9.5J and now on 245/40/17 Continental MO Spec.
Result is no rubbing and perfect fit!
Hats off to you that's a fantastic car, great thread. I'm not usually a fan of black cars but yours is one which could have changed my mind

It was a free site to share pictures, then decided you need to pay, so everyone who has been using it over the years has to pay or the pics get deleted or blured

Hi mate, just a quick question, i am about to undertake a replica conversion similar to yours, just wondering if you can shed some light on where to source tyres, only thing i can find is 335/35/17 which will probably catch on a 12" rear wheel, any suggestions or help, thanks man

Unfortunately hardly anyone makes 315s anymore, and even fewer people will stock them this side of the Atlantic. The same problem exists with 265/40R17 for 3pc AMG splits, there's no production anymore.
335 is Countach fitment.

In your opinion would you say 335/35/17 is a definite no no on a 12 x 17 wheel for a wide arch SEC

Given rim widths for that size of tyre are 11-13", so that should be fine.
Best be sitting down when you see the prices though!

Please post pics (on a new thread to avoid confusion!)
Widebody exterior, any engine mods? AMG interior (recaros etc?)

Will start a new thread on the build very soon, it will be done in stages but am collecting the car this Wednesday and collected the wheels yesterday, purchased the new 5" lips today and am ordering the replica wide body kit next week from Chaz, hopefully get the car stripped and in the garage over winter for the job. Will also be ordering the Recaro CS (i believe), a lot going on and will all come together in time.
