Craig,

I've been watching this post and I feel the same way, the tire diameter should always remain the same (or at least very close) to teh original size. The sidewall size shinks, as you say plus 1 or plus 2. It seems odd that the tire diameter is growing as the rim diameter changes.

Yes, either 335/35ZR17 or 335/30ZR18 rear tires will fit without any issues. I've run both sizes before going to new wheels and 345/30ZR19 Michelin Pilot SS tires.

I run Michelin PS2's in a 335 on the rear stock rims. No issues.

I have two new 335 Michelin's that I may let go cheaper than you will buy them anywhere.

I'm going for the 345x40's.

PM me if interested.

Quick question on changing tire sizes.
Is there are speedometer change required in going from 315/17 to 335/17. In the tire sizing chart there is a 1.73" difference in tire circumference, .55" in diameter and down in revs per mile from 809.9 to 792.9. Wasn't sure if the difference was enough to be a concern.

Thanks.

No need for a speedometer recal.
