Looks like the smallest recommended wheel width is 11.5", at least for a 19" rim. Not sure if it would be the same for an 18" rim, but 10.5" would be pretty small for a 345.

I wouldn't go higher than a 315 on a 10.5" wheel.

If you wanna play, you gotta pay. 345s aren't cheap.

You can have the wheels widened for about $200-250 each.

I'm hoping to put a 345/30/19 nt05r on my wheels. They are 11's tho. I found a person on vette forums who did it on C6 wheels. I don't think youll get them on a 10.5. They look pretty tight on a 11

It defeats the purpose to run 345s on a rim that's too narrow for them. If all you have to work with is a 11 or a 10.5 then run the size tire thats recommended for your size rim. FWIW, my 345s are on a 13" wide rim.
