Default will they fit?

i know this has been asked before i just need a fast response and i didnt find anything under wheels and tires.

just got a set of 18X10.5 wheels and need to know if a 335/30/18 will fit with no problem on the wheel and car?

car is 2001 camaro z28

thanks in advance

You will not get a straight answer to your question because there are too many variables. It depends if you are lowered or stock, how centered your rear end is to the body, the offset and backspacing of your wheels, and what brand tire.

Assuming you are stock height, your rear is centered and 54mm offset... 335's will likely still rub some. At a minimum you will need to BFH (Big F'n Hammer) mod your inner fenderwall.

If your lowering it your not gona have an easy time getting 335s to fit. Youll have to recenter your rear, roll fenders, and hammer the **** out of it.

You're probably going to have to do some BFH mod to the fenderwells.

A 315 won't get the job done?? Even still, I know you would need a hammer mod like others have said. Why so wide? You have 1K hp? LOL>

Seeings how the manufacturer recommends a 11.5" wide wheel the answer is simple . . .

yea i hear you guys, i didnt realize how much more expensive 18 inch tires were before i got them. i originally wanted 17X11. the 335's only ran me 200 each plus shipping which is why i went that way. if they dont fit then ill hook someone up on tech. tires get here wednesday hopefully. ill deff post pics

Good luck.

I considered doing 335s, but being lowered I quickly tossed that idea out and went with 295 BFG KDWs.

lucky you, i wanted kdw's all around but i just didnt want to spend that much, anyways i got the wheels mounted and they drive great. ofcourse we had to do a lil hammering but they fit and look great. i have to admit they are a lil big for those 10.5's but they look and drive good. except i havent lowered it yet and the dms springs get here in two weeks lol. more hammering. pics will be up in a min
