Thanks for the Info.
They are looking Very nice.
I like the wide body look, planning to build new fenders so they Will fit big wheels. I
Talk with Chris Coddington, they Can only supply the wheels, no tieres. Any idear whear to get tieres in this big dimension.

The Ebay listing for that blue GT4 stated it had 345/45-19" rear tyres.
They are not 45 profile, but 35 profile.

I have very similar set I made for my car.
Front: 285/40-17 Bridgestone on 17x9.5" three piece rims.
Rear: 345/35-19 Bridgestone Scuderia on 19x13" three piece rims.

You can purchase the tyres from tire rack in the USA at good prices.

Heres a picture of the massive rear:

The Michelin Pilots on my car are actually 30s….345/30/ZR19. The auction says the tire on that car are Nitto’s. I can’t find any Nitto’s listed in that size with either the 45 or 35 profile but Invo’s and NT05s are listed in 345/30/19. At the time I did my car, I may have opted for a 35 or 45 profile but I believe the 30s were standard issue on ZR1 Corvettes so I thought the chances were that size would be better supported and available in the future. Considering the investment in wheels and fitment of flares, seemed like the right decision. However, I would have opted for a taller profile at the time because it’s much cheaper than a taller ring and pinion, in fact if you want taller gearing which is certainly welcome with bigger displacement and higher torque mills. In the near future I’ll have a 3.78 instead of 4.22 crown. If you do the math, one can achieve significant final drive and engine rpm changes with those taller profiles, especially when applied to the very wide 345. As an aside, Nitto NT05s are drag radials and I would not put those on my car. I have life left on my Michelins, but when their time comes, I’d put a set of Niitto NT01s on there in a blink if they were available.

Best,

I went for the 35 profile for the handling aspect. More tyre compliance to road surfaces etc.
(our roads are not that fantastic).
I'm not keen on super low profile tyres as they are too harsh & tend to skip around.
And I do run soft spring rates as well, 225 lb up front & 400 lb rear.
