Default 335/35/18's on 10" rim?

I tried a search on this but found nothing. I think this would be okay and my Rebels have a huge lip on them too. What do you guys think. Oh yea I dont mind the BFH job.

NO, won't fit. If you manage to actually get them on and seated then they'll bulge and have a contact patch like a motorcycle tire. If you check out tirerack you'll see manufacturers recommended rim minimum is a 12" rim. A few guys stuck those 335s on the 18x10.5 z06 rims and took them off cause " they made my car look like a monster truck" cause of how round the rim forced the tire to be ergo raising the rear end 3in. Just my .02 BTW I run them on an 18x12 and the sidewalls have a healthy bulge to them already...

I ran 335's on my 11" TT2's and they didnt look too bad. I think ill just get some 295's and call it a day.

They will work,,, they just won't work well. I had 335s on some 17X10.5s and while they looked nice and wide,,, they didn't work worth a crap. They had no more actual tread contact than a smaller width tire and they were taller and heavier so as far as function goes, they suck. The 18s will have an even smaller sidewall than 17s and they will work even worse. I'm not gonna jump up and down saying it will be dangerous {they might well be being that undersized and haveing that small of a sidewall} but I will say it's sorta rediculous to to mount such a tire on that size wheel.

IMO you would be miles ahead by doing just that and putting the right sized tire on the right sized rim. Going big takes alot of time and $. That I can tell you from a personal standpoint. But in the end I would never run anything smaller again. "once you go big you never go back"

I tried 335/30/18 Michelins on my 10.5" Z06 wheels and they wouldn't even think about going on there. I think they had 12.5" from inside lip to lip.

Consider that the New C6 Z06 only runs a 325/30-19 on a 12 inch wide rim.

335's take some serious work to make them fit anyways.

No joke. Cut out bump stop, rolled fender lips, panhard bar, BFH BFH BFH BFH and every time you hear a rub you take them off and beat in the rub area. Took 2 weeks to get sorted out and still rub-going to do mini tubs this summer.
