Not to mention slower in the straights, more contact patch drag and aero drag, heavier and less mpg.

 

The added lateral grip far exceeds any drag deficits caused by rolling resistance. This isn't a Miata, our motor actually makes power, and more then enough to overcome 10-50mm of extra tire width. Remember too, that a typical camber alignment of -2/-3 reduces approx. 25mm of the tires strait line contact patch. Also contrary to what you may have heard or believe, 295-315's width tires with tuned N/A isn't as uncommon as you might think. It actually performs exceedingly well on road course or Auto X environments. Takes a little longer to heat up on the street, but then again you aren't looking for 10/10 adhesion levels on the street either. More rubber does take longer to wear out though, so that's not a bad thing either MPG? who cares about that.

 

Yes if your fenders aren't rolled. Also this thread is from 2013.

 

They wouldn't fit the other time you posted this today and won't fit now without buggering the bodywork.
