I'm running a 21x11 with a 295/25/21 noone makes a 305 in 21 inch yet. I would have gone even wider had I had a wider tire option I was think of running an11.5 or even a 12 width had thier been a 305 or 315 tires option in 21 since I was painting and molding the car around the wheels...

If that still doesn't solve my traction issues then I'll just roll full time on drag radials. I don't daily drive my car so it's not that big of a deal for me.
jeff side wall plays a big effect on tracion as wel, just because you have a 305 dosnt mean traction especially with a 30 series profile, you might wanna look into a 40 series and you will get better results

Nice! Those would look real sick. Have you gave any thought to some VIP Modular wheels? I know that they custom fit every wheel made so there really isn't any offset. They have something similar to these, I think they are the VR08.

Those are actually 20x11.5 with 295/25-20.

My old set of Zone 8s was 20x11.5 with 305/25-20

Do I win something?
