18x10.5 all around? Should look killer. I just bought a set of the 17x9.5s for mine, but waiting for rear springs later this week to post pics (car looks like a raked out 60s muscle car at the moment - sig is a 'chop)

335s! Wow. Not sure if you are going to have to run a spacer on that.

When it's done it's going to look SICK.

Dude, that's not even close. If you were running stock C5 ZO6 wheels, then those were much lighter then your current setup. Your current wheels are about 28lbs, which are not light at all. I believe the 18" C5 wheels are around 21lbs.

That's why I have dedicated road course wheels.

Maybe he wasn't running stock wheels. I am running the same rim and they seemed lighter than my zr1's, but then again, they were 11" wide out back.

The lip is almost 3" IIRC

Those look great!

How wide are they though? Wide enough for a 335?

They are 10.5" wide . Some people say to not run a 335 but
theres a few other people on here who are running a 335
on a 10.5" rim and it looks killer No unsafe bulging whatsoever .

You're going to love the 335's man. They look killer from the back.

The only answer is no. It's just as bad as running a 315 on a 9.5" wheel. Don't be a cheap ***, if you want a 335 buy the right wheel.
