I guess I'm one of those " old car guys?" I'm wanting a 27" (18" rim) rear tire 11.5-12" sec width. I know the rubber band look is best for handling but it's just not me.




I hear ya. Its too bad there is not support in this area, but, ultimately, the OEMs will drive sizing the manufacturers make to a much greater degree than all of us combined. For this reason, I would look at fitting OEM sizes to my car if I was going to bigger diameter rims. This means 255, 275, or 335 as these were offered on many 'Stangs, Vettes and Vipers for many, many years. The tire guys will continue to make sizing for OEM applications long after custom "boutique" sizes fall by the wayside.
