Default Is this a real pic?

The wheels just look to big , it looks like it would need to be mini tubed for something that wide. could they just be 335/30/18 tires?
Photoshoped?

Jeez, you are right. I've never seen anything like that before that wasn't a slick. I'm also fairly certain thats not a 335, it almost looks twice the size of the front tire, which im assuming is a 275. I'd say its tubbed, but I dont even know if they make street radials that wide, so no clue.

Those look like 345's, my 335's are a little smaller.

Where did you find those pics?

It's fake. Look at the inner tread on the rear view.

Looks pretty real to me, but I could be wrong.

I think that they are tucked in way to far to be real. Those don't look like a custom BS/offset C5s (just widened) so it would need a mini tub, and it looks like the LCAs would have to be moved to get them in that far. I have seen acouple of F-bodys with 335 though, one had the tires pretty flush with the fender and the inner feder and wheel well was just beaten in alot. The other they where sticking out alittle and didn't really look right.

Like said above it has to be fake because the tread pattern of the tires is a Ecsta 712

Photoshop, the wheels and tires are in a different light than the rest of the car.
