They don't fit unless drastic measures are taken as pointed out above (lol'd sawzall). Deepest measurement from inner fender to OUTSIDE the fender is 13.5". Gets a little narrower as move downward and forward in the fender. Section width of a 335/30 is 13.5 so it's gonna take some work.

Mini-tub or get carpal tunnel beating the **** out of your inner fender.

I have looked at these also and didn't know it would take this much. I also looked at a 325/40 and I was told a little bfh mod and maybe a small 1/4" spacer they would fit no big deal. Is a 335 that much wider then a 325? Plus that 335 is I think 2" shorter also

BFH "mod" includes a hammer and a lot of swinging to massage the inner fender to help fit over size rubber. Just went through this to fit my 315/30s in addition to rolling my fenders. Could not imagine what the hell you'd have to do to make a 335 fit.....again, wouldn't try unless I tubbed it.

What kind of offset are you running? That is the biggest thing. If you have a dip dish with a 56mm or less your good. Not to bad to get to fit from what I have heard. What kind of 315's are you running?

its possible but you almost have to reshape the entire inner fender ive seen 335 28 hoosiers on one without minnitubbing but the inner fender wall looked like it came off a diff care when he was done had no more paint or coating on it was beaten and reshaped and grinded and all kinds of stuff but he madem fit. me personally I would just minitube it would probably be alot easier if you can cut and weld the kit is VERY cheep and you can order it preshaped

This was also a NON lowered car a lowered car is a whole new ball game, my 315s fit with NO mods at stock hight but when I dropped it a inch I had to roll the inner fenders as well as cut out the bumpstops
