I finally found some time at the shop to get these mounted up. I will tell you that these are a pain in the *** to mount even with a $25,000 tire machine BUT I was able to do it without any damage to the rims.

My setup is 17/18 C5 DD rims with 275/40R17 Falken rt's in the front and 335/30R18 Pirelli PZero's in the rear.
I am lowered on Eibach Pro springs with the rear isolator removed. I was worried about going with a smaller sidewall in the rear but it is really hard to tell the difference.

I am not using a spacer and I had to beat the living **** out of the inner quarters and now the only time I rub is if I take a steep incline at an angle.

Heres some pics I am very happy with this setup now because I really missed my old 315/35R17 GSD3's that ran just as wide.






Thoughts?

Rims look great! and those tires are wide as hell. Do you have any pictures of what you had to hit for them to fit inside the wheel well ?

Thanks guys and spdygon I will try to get ya some pictures next time the rims come off.
The tires were only difficult to mount because I care about my rims, if you ever used a tire machine that has 3 different arms to push the bead down far enough to mount as it is spinning you would understand lol.
Now my 295/40R18 Falken's I pulled off were soft as hell and had a big sidewall so removing and remounting them is a piece of cake.

I understand about being careful. Was just curious if the wheels are reverse mount? It makes things a difficult. Looks sick btw

Are you still using the factory control arms? What about the bump stop?

nice tire bulge...I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of throwing a wide *** tire on the wrong sized rim just to say you have a wide *** tire on there. IMO a nice Nitto (NT05, 555, etc) 315 would've sufficed.

That being said, still a clean car.

^ Same thought here but it dosen't look that bad, I just would have went with a little smaller tire first off.

Yea these wheels are reverse mount which makes it a little more difficult for sure.
I Have UMI tubular control arms, UMI on car adjustable panhard and the bump stop is still there just shaved it down a little.
Thanks and the main reason I went with this size is just because it now sits flush with the wheel well with the offset of these rims, I didn't want to use a spacer.
I won these tires on Ebay for dirt cheap. If I could get a 315/35 I would have BUT I don't have $600 to spend right now.
Nittos don't do it for me simply because the tire would appear narrower than the 295's I pulled off.
Obviously this isn't a performance setup and I would never go auto x'ing with these and when I want to grip at the track I have extra tires for doing so, **** I can blow these tires off at 60 so IT IS mainly for looks!

I like the way the tires are flush with the fenders. Are the upper fender lips rolled?

I think it looks good. A friend of mine ran 335 nittos on his 10.5 wheel.
