Has anyone put a 335 section width tire on the back of a Camaro?

Re: Has anyone put a 335 section width tire on the back of a Camaro? The 335's are on and rolling, but not spinning <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> these suckers hook and hard! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
They bolted right on, but U must use a floor jack under the rearend pumpkin, they "CANNOT" be put on with the suspension at full extension, like if the car was on a lift. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I had removed the bump stop 2 years ago when I originaly put the 17x11's on with the Yokohama AVS 315's, I do have some rubbing with a full load in the back seat, but I will find the spot tommorrow and make some fine adjustments with the BFH! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
No fender lip rolling needed, but my car is not lowered!
I do believe the rubbing is coming from the front of the inner fenderwell, it is almost non-exsistent when it is just me in the car.

Re: Has anyone put a 335 section width tire on the back of a Camaro? Just for the record the gm "zl1" car had the rear wheel wells mini tubbed slightly remember reading about it somewhere cause I was thinking of going with tires around its size at the time.
IF you have any problems with the clearance on the inner wheel well you can cut out the inner area and weld in a new tubular area for rear crush support. I would do that as a last resort though, as I am going through it right now setting up my car for wider tires and wheels <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
