is anyone running a 345/30/19 tire on the rear of their viper?
I would like to see what it looks like from the side. Im afraid it might be to tall.

thanks

That tire would be 1.25" taller than the stock 335/30-18, and have a rolling circumference of 3.87 inches more. It will make your speedometer appear 4.75% too slow. The tire size calculator I used actually spit out a warning about brake failiure because this tire is more than 3% different in the diameter (4.54% to be exact).

check out my gallery, I have a ton, the 355/25-19 is a smaller diameter tire than the 345/30-19

here's some pics of the 345/30-19 on my car:

and here's a photo of it next to the stock wheel/tire:

I think the larger overall diameter balances the car and looks more inline with the front wheel/tire and gap. I didn't want to lower my car because I hate the "nose-high" look of the lowered cars, and after seeing how balanced my car looks now, I don't plan to lower it.

note: I have an 18" front rim 275/35-18, that was the key to balancing the look of the car

What tires are you guys running in that 19" size? I have Gen III wheels and need something better than the runflats that were OE.
