I have extended studs in the rear, used a .75' spacer and tapped on the inner fender a bit, but I think they fit okay. I love them actually.
Here's my 345/35/18 MT's on an 11 inch rim (which Mickey Thompson says is the minimum width for these tires)

Ooo. I was wrong on my end. The widest wheels I found that I like are 10.5 exact.

Thats a set of rollers... ha. With the right offset, or maybe widening a set of wheels..it could be done..

In order to run a TRUE 345 tire on the rear and not have the wheels and tires sticking out past the quarter panel lip and not have rubbing issues, you're gonna have to install mini tubs. There's a few tire brands like Nitto whose 345s run really narrow. Another thing to consider when trying to fit larger tires is your desired ride height.

^^ this is true .....fitting a real 345 is going to require a mini tub, I have a watts link, the bump stops cut out and at stock ride hight and even with a 10mm spacer that made the tires stick out past the fender they still rubbed way to much to just bfh. The toyo tq also bulged on a 11 inch wheel if ur going to do it right ull prob need a 12 or 13 inch wheel
I have 345-30-19 tires on 13" wide wheels, but my car is mini tubbed. My tires are Kumho XS KU36 and they are true 345 tires. I tried to get them to fit on my car just out of curiosity before tubbing, but there was no way at all they were gonna fit without the tubs and offset lower control arms. Once again, these are 13" wide wheels, and as you can see, there's no bulge or stretch at all on these tires.
