What are largest tires that will fit on front and rear of viper. I have 19x13" rear and 18x10" front HRE rims w/ 345 rear and 275 front. Dont know if larger tires would even fit wheels or wheelwells. Any input appreciated..

Some use 315's on fronts, noting that they can rub if you go to full lock (which really doesn't happen much...especially in routine track usage). A friend with a stock 97 GTS using 317x17" Mxx3's does complain that he has to cut the wheels in order to raise the hood without rubbing. I have heard that some race with 335's (with 17" wheels, I believe) on fronts. Now I must defer to others with MORE experience.

There are only a couple options for tire sizes based upon your wheel sizes. The 345mm tire is available, but I believe that sidewall is larger so the rear of your car will ride 1/2"+ higher. Unless you have adjustable suspesion, your handling may actually suffer and the car may not be balanced well. We have seen 335s up front too, but I would not recommend that on a 10" wide wheel. I would recommend no more than a 295mm wide tire on that size front wheel.
If you can lower your car (adj. suspension), I would recommend the Michelin Pilot sports 345/30/19 for the rears with the 295/30/18 for the fronts.

We order and ship many tires for Viper owners. We'll try and get you competitive prices.
Hope we can help.
