Yeah, my 335's looked wider when I had them on my Camaro. On the T/A, I'd feel like I had skinny tires if I went with anything less. lol

They are black ZR1s and the rears have the deep machined lip. I don't have any real good pics yet.

I then painted the inner wheel well flat black to assure no bare metal is left on the car (to prevent potential rust) and wheels went back on with no rubbing.

Frickin took longer to explain than to actually do all the work.

Thanks man, the reason I was asking is because I will be going with the same wheel and tire package in late january. How do those tires perform in the corners?

Hey guys, I have a set of 17x11 ZR1's in my closet wrapped in 315/35 Vredestein tires......How wide are these tires compared to other brands (Ex: Nitto, Sumitovo, BFG, Goodyear) as these do look pretty wide. Just curious if anybody can point me in the right direction.
