With seeing everyone at the pointy end stretching hoosiers these days, I've always kind of wondered if your car would be faster on something like 13's-14's (maybe 13's for the Rivals) instead of 11's or 12's? Considering how people run 275's on 11's and 295's on 12's now, etc. I think 335 on an 11= pinched and 335 on a 12=square. I don't think I've ever seen stretched tires on that car.

I have a set of 12 inch rims I am going to try the bfg on and I do think they may respond better but not sure I think the hoosiers would.
