My 18x12 Classics with the 335's on them fit with no tubbing req'd. CCW makes them with offsets to fit accordingly.

There are wide body panels.

I think ACP world challenge rear fenders are 3/4" wider so you'd be able to fit 345's with appropriate offset I imagine <<< In case you can't run tubs

There are also a few wide body options.

If you want to run a 335 tire you have a few options:
1) Order the wheels with an offset, so the tire sticks outside the fender. You can install wide body panels if you want.
2) mini-tub the car, not a big deal. Plus the wheels tuck under nicely.

Also if the car is lowered significantly, you will have to trim the ends of the leaf springs to clear the wheels. Ask me how I know.

If the rim is a 18x12 with 335 and the car does not have a minitub, I will guarantee that the tire stick out at least 1" if not more.

what about 335's on a 19x11 CCW SP500 on a C5 stock height.

anyone done that....

I am worried it will rub, and even worse rub the outer fender and mess up the tire... At 400-500 each I cant afford to risk it

Car is in the body shop but maybe next week I'll get some on here. They stick out but only about 1/4". I think it looks pretty bad ***. Some like it, some don't.

1" huh keith? I've had 18x12 C5Z repro's and now my 18x12 CCW classics and neither stuck out much at all. Like I said above, 1/4" is about it. I'll have pics up next week.

Thanks Guys

BTW, here's a photochop a good friend did with some black Forgeline ZX3R's




I think matte black would look better though

Very Nice Nemesis,
What flare kit and wheel setup are you running? I was thinking of doing mini tubs but really like your setup.
Thanks
Scott
