Default 335/35/17 tires

What size rim would these need to go on, and will i need a spacer or to do a minitub on the z06 for me to get these to fit?

Thanks

David

I believe you will require the MINI TUB Dave. The biggest tire I can run is a set of Mickey Thompson 305 35r 18's on the back. Any wider and you will have some kind of issues. Bobby didn't specify, I assume rubbing. Can't wait to get them. Will be sure to tell you how they look and how they hook. Stay cool bro.

I have 335s on my car sitting on a 11 inch rim. It really should be 11.5 or 12.

They do not rub and no tub was needed. My car is lowered too.

Thats' good to know. I didn't think a lowered vette could run that much tire. I see I was wrong. Thanks for the info 2MRMMS...

Min of 11.5" and ideally a 12". Unless you want them to stick way out of the fender, you will need to minitub. With a minitub, you can get them to line up like stock

CCW says a 335 wil work with their 11.5" and the removal of the rear brake duct on the Z06's.
