    bigger rear meats

    What's the largest tires you've run on the rear of your box panther? I have whale Police Interceptor shocks and CC819 wagon coils, it sits pretty high in the rear. Lots of room for bigger tires in there.


    I wouldn't mind something with more of a contact patch. Running 225 60 16s right now.


    My car isn't a screamer but I'd like to do a good job of putting down what little power I have basic HO converted lopo.

            I would totally run a set of those in the back. The only ones I can find are drag radials though, what a shame...

                        You can fit 255/60's on stock wheels? I didn't think you could fit wider than a 235 series on a 6" wide wheel. I was gonna look for a set of 235/60's for my car.

                            I ran 275s on the front but cant find them anymore once these wear out I will have to do something else for the winter. Big brak upgrad will kill it anyway. Summer fronta are 285 30s on 10" rims. New winter tires will be 16 somethings

                              You can, but it won't be ideal.
