I truly hope this does not come to fruition! 30 inch wheels/ - OMG! What tire is that a 335/10/30 or 355/05/30?

Incredible..I saw that same wheel/tire set-up in another forum from the SEMA show. Is that really a tire or is that a piece of 1 inch rubber grooved to look like one? Seems not very functional at all...all sfor how.....

That has to be the second worst idea I've ever seen! Can you imagine the ride? One pothole and both your teeth and the rim are history!

I wish I had my camera. Tonight I saw a Jaguar XK8 with 22 inch rims. I did not think that nothing bigger than a 20 would fit a car. All Rim and no Rubber. It looks ridiculous.

He'd probably damage the wheel if he ran over a bug.

there's a sports star here that had some 20"+ (donno, but def at least 20") in his cl600...hit a pothole, and had to be towed in on a flatbed. the wheel had gotten stuck in the fender...it just won't come out...
