Question 335/35/17 BFG's on 17X11 rear

Anyone running this????

I am going to try to put them on my 94 Z28 and wanted to know if anyone is running it already so i know what to expect the rims are ZR1's with the grand-sport back-spacing

i am sure i will need spacers and some banging of the wheel wells, but want to know if anyone is running these and what was needed in order to make them fit thanks

That would be bad if you could make it work, but Vipers have 335 series tires and 13" wide rims. Plus there is a lot of banging of the wheelwell for 315's, especially if they arent made for a camaro. good luck though let us know how it works out

as for the made for the camaros it is the correct offset for the F-body

You will find that Porsche actually puts a 275 on an 11" wheel for thier GT cars. When you put a tire on a wheel thats a little small for it, you wont get the contact patch or sidewall strength that you would on the appropriate wheel.

I don't know... You'll have to find a way to keep the car from squatting (at the expense of your launch...) and you'll have to get a mega swaybar to keep it from rolling, because without flaring the fenders, they ain't gonna fit... The 315s are very wide, so even if the 335s don't work you can always fall back on the 315s.

If the 335s do work your car's gonna look like a Rat Fink mobile. Be sure and post pics!
