Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back Just wopndering. Do you have any pics of it. I wanted to put 345s on the back and 275s up front but the biggest I found was 335.
Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back People have rubbing problems with 315's so I can't imagine the problems with something wider. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back Theres a few people around here running 335's but I couldn't get any of em to post pics. None of them had any online. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I'd love to see some though. They all had to use the BFH mod to get em to work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back hmm 345s would rule out the back but 335 are just as good. Now anybody have 315s up front? YA you got to get those pics up. What all do you have to beat to hell to get them to fit? Also do I need to flare my fenders?

Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back 315's will definately not fit up front. I also wouldn't run anything much bigger than a 285 up front, you will be frying PS pumps left and right...

Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back 315's will fit up front. I was at an autox today and I seen up close. I talked to the guy and he has no rubbing at all. His car is on stock springs though and it is kind of funny looking, but it works and he beat me by 4 seconds in the autox.
Alos i run 295/35/18's on all 4 corners and I have no rubbing at all and my car is lowered with Eibachs pro kit.

Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back I have 315's on my rear and have had no rubbing problems with them. I am looking to go up to the 345's. I know one guy in FL. that has 345's on a 97 SS and had to massage the fender a bit and he says he still rubs from time to time. My question is, will a 345 fit on an 11inch wide rim?
Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back I am looking at putting larger tires on my car (I have the stock 245/50 ZR 16s that came on the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> ). I cant get ANY traction with that small width (just about have to stall the engine to keep from smoaking them) and the 16 inch rim can't be helping me in turns. What is the largest tire I can put on my car (front and rear don't have to be the same but it would be nice to be able to rotate the tires ever 5,000 miles and make them last a little longer). I am going to be putting G2 coil overs on my car this summer. I was thinking perhaps going to 18s......would this look to rice?
Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back Cool28- ILL snap some pics on friday and mail em to you, or anyone who would like to see them or host them.
Would an 18" rim look ricy? Not at all, I run 18s on all 4 corners, and there is not a sign of rice to be seen.

Re: Anybody got 335s or bigger on the back I had 325s on the rear of my car before they discontinued the MXX3 size. Mark Montalvo (sp?) in California has 335s on the rear of his car. I have 335s set aside when I get my car back together, but it takes a rolling of the fender lip, and some massaging of the inner fender. Get 3or 4 guys in the back, drive around the block to see where it rubs, and then go from there. 335 reccommended rim width is 12", but 11" will work as well.
Good luck,
Louis
