Anybody try this? Thought about giving it a try since I need to replace the rears.

A quick check at Tire Rack shows all the leading manufacturers of street tires in 335/35-17 recommend a wheel width of 11"-13". Should be OK. Hoosier, on the other hand, recommends nothing less than 12" wide for their competition tires.

At least one person has done this with a 4th Gen..... maybe Ken Mook??? It's got to be tight.... and requires some heavy hammering, at least based on my experience with 315/35's.

Adding those 335s to your car is going to be a b!tch. The 315s were hard enough but you also have to consider that you won't have as many choices when it comes to 335s and its significantly more expensive. Good luck and post pics once you're done!

Ive got 335's on my camaro. I have them on tt2's. I have the ebach pro kit all the way around. However I had to run stock springs in the back or the 335's would rub. I have gotten so many compliments. people tell me it looks sick.

I am going to change to 315's though. I want to hae my drop kit on the rear put back on. So I would go with 315's unless you can flare out the rear fenders a little

sorry no pics
