SEMA eNews, Vol. 9, No. 16 – April 19, 2006 INDUSTRY FIRST: 30-INCH WHEEL GOES INTO FULL PRODUCTION Pirelli Tire North America and Twenty Inches Strong Wheels have introduced the world’s first 30-inch wheel and tire combo geared for the light-truck and SUV market. With the 315/30R30 Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico, Pirelli is the first tire maker to supply this tire size in full production. Twenty Inches Strong Wheels’ new eight-spoke, three-piece wheel becomes the first in the company’s new Thirty Inches Strong Line. The first set of this wheel and tire combo was sold to MTV’s Bam Margera from “Viva La Bam†valued at just under $150,000. Link:

geeze, remember when 20's was all the rage? run over a pebble with your 30's and they are probably ruined!i liken it to when pants got bigger and bigger legs in the 90's, it will die down eventually.

It's following the trend of HiDef TV and flat Screen TV's: Next will be 32", 46", 54", then 60". 'Dubs' will be replaced by 'SixOhs'! And of course, following the market, GM will have to build humongously larger SUV's just to fit them! Are you ready, Scherry????

I resized the 17" wheels to 176% to see what the Vibe would look like with 30s. I think we'd need to wait until someone made a 5 series tire. 225/5R30 might do it.
