Default 335/35/17s on stock height.

So I purchased a pair of 17x11 polished zr1s today. I then stopped by my local tire shop and they had a pair of 335/35/17s. Now ive been reading alot on here and looking at pictures and they seem to fit real tight when you mount them on stock height. I got them mounted on and they seem to stick out just a lil outside of the quarter panel. Now, Im guessing im either going to need an adjustable PHB to center the differential to even out the wheels, or I might have the wrong offset zr1s or one tire could be wider than the other since they are not both of same name brand. One is a pirelli and the other a michelin with alot of life in them. So what do you recommend I do? I would really like to keep them but now Im debating on whether to keep them or sell as whole. well with further a due, the pics. =] (Yes they will be painted to color match the front wheels. If kept.)





How much they stick out on both sides.

Yeah, wrong offset I bet that's the +36mm offset, you need the +50mm offset. If you plan on keeping those on the car I'd put a set of slp bump stop spacers on it and probably a set of Energy Suspension or Prothane bumpstops to try and prevent/minimize any tire/fender contact.

I'd get rid of the mismatched,to wide tires, wrong offset wheels, and put a set of 315/35/17s on some 17 x 11 +50mm offset wheels so then it'll look sweet! The way it looks now is like Jethro from the back woods is hauling moonshine in it.

Get the right offset at least, that just looks bad. I'd also get matching tires.

wow that sticks out a bunch. PHB won't help that. Also why a 335 tire? I run a 315 and are plenty wide. Just curious.

335s was all he had and for the buck why not.
Im kinda in a budget so yea.
I still have plenty of space inside and wont rub unless I mount people on the back but then again I carry no one in the back.Ive been driving the car around and no rubbing issues what so ever. How do I tell if these are the 36mm??

Driver side.


Passenger

He only used them to race. thats what he said.
how come they fit nicely on his and not mine.

The 335's are cool if you lower it and tuck them in a little (i.e. get the right offset) You have a ton of room between the tire and inner fender well. I have 315's with spacers and barely have a finger width of room there. Lower it, PHB, and right offset and it will look badass.

That sticker on the passenger rear glass doesnt say "To punish and enslave" does it? Come on now....

narrowed rear end perhaps? would explain why his don't stick out so far.

Dont get me wrong, I like the quote but it's kinda a mustang thing... That would be kinda like GM releasing a decepticon version of bumble bee. Im only giving you hell cause there are a couple black mustangs around here with those stickers. They think they are barricade. Hell one even has a license plate that says so!

The tire on the convertible looks like it's a 315-35-17... the PROPER sized tire for an 11" wheel.

Even if it was a 315 it will still stick out way to far. I"m thinking the PO had the rear narrowed. But I agree with right offset thats alot of meat to tuck under there.

I agree with everyone else, wrong offset of the wheels, plus the bulging tires don't help.

Here's what my 19x11's look like from the rear:




Seriously, 17x11 ZR1 replicas are pretty inexpensive, I'd sell those and get a set that fit right.
