Default 335/30/18 nittos on the back of my ws6?

how do these tires fit? are they about the same "actual" size as say the mickey 315/30/18. i would just get the mickeys but im looking for something with better street wear.

does anyone have these tires?

thanks guys

I was also wondering about that size.. dont mean to thread hijack but i have 18x10.5 z06 rims.. and was wondering about the 335 since they run smaller as most people say..

i was thinking the exact same thing...i was going to get the 18x10.5s in black and those tires would rock...i think with a small spacer and since the ws6 has a larger fender space compared to the camaros i thik we could get away with the 335 since im not lowering my car...if i have to roll the fender then i will i dont mind that so much.
they come with a +56 offset on ebay so to not rub inside they would need a slim spacer

they dont seem to buldge that bad at all...about the same as my 275 KDs on the stock 17x9s lol. whats the offset on the rims and how much massaging did you need to do to fit them?

thanks for the pics

don't get me wrong I'm all for having as much tire as you can under a car, i have 345s on my Vette but i also have a 12.5 wide wheel to do it safely

I'm with this guy. ^^^

That is a horrible buldge on those Z06s. Those are 10.5" rim the biggest tire you should really even think about putting on that rim would be a 315 and that's still out of it's safety recommendation rage. Primarily a 305 would be what you'd want.

For a 335 tire to be run "safe" you need to run a 11.5" wheel. I contemplated putting a 335 on my 11" wheels but went against it because of the "cloud like" sensation you'd feel in the corner, plus I just think bulge looks bad...that's just me though.

actually i think i made up my mind chef...im going with the Torq-Thrust M Anthracid color rims 17x10.5 in the back. 18inch tires are just way to expensive lol and then i can run a mickey 315 in the back no problem...the new style looks like the could handle pretty good in the rain lol

I love my new anthracite TTM's. They really do look great on an F-body. Just for reference, here is what a wide 315 will look like on your TTM's. In my opinion, there is little buldge.

there is a little buldge with the mickeys on the 10.5 rims i think also..the recomended tire rim size for the mickey 315s is 11-12 inch so its only 0.5 off thats cool with me. the rim size for the nitto 315 is 10.5-12. overall width on the mickey is 12.7 and the overall width on the nittlo is 12.16...thats how skinny the nittos are lol
