Will 335's fit in the wheel well?
Will a 335/30/18 tire fit in a Camaro wheel well? Probably gonna be a Nitto DR on an 18x10.5" wheel with a -56mm offset. My car is lowered with the fenders rolled. The Nittos usually don't run as wide as other tires the same size.
BTW...I have no problem bustin' out a BFH.

Ive got a set of MT 335/35/15 i just got under there wasnt as bad of a process as one would think. Once i get this thing started and cleaned up Im going to upload all the build pics, you can take a look at what I did.

Thanks for all the input guys....but I'm not asking if you can fit a 335 on a 10.5" wheel. I'm asking if you can fit a 335 in the wheel well, and if so, what you are doing to get it to fit.
I have done some searching, it looks like it can be done without too many issues. My car is lowered, but I do have the fenders rolled, and I also have the longer ARP wheel studs so I could use a 5/8" spacer on each side if I need to.

yep, the BFH mod, lots of time, and some rolled fenders. Oh and you might wanna have an adjustable panhard rod also to help center the rear. Some go farther and trim the bump stops but I wouldnt.

I tried some 335/30/18 Michelin Pilot Sports on some 10.5" Z06 wheels that I had for my '69. We couldn't get them to seat on the rim no matter what we tried, and no matter how much air/sealing goop we threw at them. May have just been my combo. I have seen 18x12 Z06 replicas on Ebay before. Search 93formto98ws6 (I believe that's his sn), he had 335s on his car and had alot of posts about it, was going up to 345s or something I think.

Yes a 335 will fit with a little work. Its not as bad as you think it might be. Adj. LCA's might not be a bad idea though. The only major thing that I had to do was cut out the part og the wheel well right behind the bump stop where that big hump is. Other than light massaging of the wheel well thats the only major part that rubs. Even with a torch and a 7lb hammer I still couldnt get them where they needed to be...so out they came.

Im acually in the process of doing this same thing right now on my 99 camaro. Got a killer deal on a set of rims and tires, only prob with the back rims have a 5.5 backspacing so they stuck out about 3 1/4 inches past the wheel well. Posted up in the drag section and they said to just narrow the rear 3.5 inches on each side and it would be perfect with some BFH massaging. Didnt know if I wanted to go through all the trouble but after I saw these I could pass them up, lightweight, 3 piece, forged, polished billet aluminum and one hell of a lip. They came with a set of 335/30/18 rear hoosier Rs and same hoosier R fronts just smaller. I already had a brand new set of 335/30/18 BFG KDW NTs and a great set of michein pilot sports for the front. I sold the tires that came with the rims for 1000.00 and so I only paid 500.00 for these rims. Which on the reciept he showed me each rear 18x12 cost 1210.00 and each front was 600.00 +shipping, then each rear tire was over 400 and the fronts were over 350 also + shipping. They were never used at all so once in a lifetime deal. I should have the rear by friday will post up pics and what I had to do to make it fit.
