More than likely have to get the BFH to make some room.

My friend Jeremy (username WS.666) did this on his 2000 Trans Am.

However, in order to get 335's to fit he had to cut the bumpstops, BFH, and I believe the wheels were stretched to 17x13. Let me see if I can get some pics for you.

There's a guy in the wheels section who just jammed 345's into his wheel wells on 12" or 13" wheels, without mini-tubbing or pulling the fenders. I have to believe it rubs something awful, though he claims that he was able to massage the inner fender, and it's all clear now. He's lowered too, lowered a lot in fact.

I had the hoosier 335 drag radials on my 17X11`s they fit with some hammering inside the wheel well. They worked pretty good . They worked better than my 315 / 17 MT drag radials.

It's weird I have the real deep offset zr1s also. They don't sit up under the in the back like the ones made for the fbody do. I was told they came off a zr1 but I have never seen any with the real real deep offset like mine. I can litteraly stick my whole fist inside where the lugs are

Bigger question is why? Tire is not made for a 11" rim and probably not even using the whole contact patch once tire grows under acceleration. No thanks to that T/A...

You will at the least need to roll your fenders.

Raptor_WS6 clears 335 RA1's on his 18x12 CCW's. Rolled his fenders and he trusted me with a BIG hammer ahaha. No rubbing at all.

x2, I HATE the "wheels sticking out of the fender" look. I've yet to see an F-body with a 325+ tire that doesn't hang out of the fender.

I'll show you a SOMWS6 thats tucking 335 RA1's..just requires the correct wheel/offset which most people don't want to pay for. He has 18x12 CCW SP510s..

I had 335's on my Zr1's for about a year. Unfortunately the crappy roads down here blew through 2 sets of 335 michelins. So I went with some 315's this go around.


Quick Reply: Will 335s fit on my bird?
