Steve, to run this tire, the offset would have to be in the mid +50's to fit properly. Not sure how much room for play there would be though. You are also gonna have the tire bulge look.

 

Ughhh I can't believe I didn't notice the bulge in the tire. I don't think it looks too bad but I have to worry about the lack of space.

 

Drew's car (36chambers) looked great on those but that tire sizing was REALLY tight and it took more than a fender roll and coilovers to get enough clearance for suspension travel IIRC. It sat higher than you'd think because the 335/30's have a taller sidewall and it gives an illusion of it being lower than it is.
I still talk to him every once in awhile, I'll hit him up and see if I can get any more solid info for you.

 

Steve, how much negative camber are you running out back?

I'm in the same situation, wondering what offset I should get for an 11.5" wheel out back with just cut fenders!

 

I run 18x12 rear+54 and I tried to fit some 335 r888 it was a no go, some cutting was involve and I didn't want deal with the hassle.

 

Sheesh I just want to run 305's with stock body no rub

 

You got it ... Or 315's is the widest way to go.

I'll just leave this here: PROPER fitting tires designed for PROPER fitting wheel widths. Not just a tire # for show w/o function.

 

I can tell you those CCW's are a +50. I had the same deal with a 305 but they were a 19's, they would rub the inside if I didn't have my coil-overs on a stiffer setting. My guess to fit that tire you would need a +55, cut the fenders and maybe some massaging of the inner wall a bit......gl

 

+57 by my calculation.

 

17x11.5 ccw offset is +51... they used to list it on the invoice. I would imagine 18x11.5 is the same.

You wont get 335 on there without pulling the fender, but that is an option.

The tire on that red car is a nitto. Look up the specs. I bet it runs more narrow than 335.

 

I'm pretty sure only the Nitto NT555r drag radials run slightly narrow. The standard NT555's & other do not.

 

18x11s with 335 Nittos..

 

What is your suspension setup and rear fender status?

 

If that's directed to me. I have Teins with KYB adjustables. My rear fenders are rolled.

 

Datruth, I'm not sure what you've got going on different there. I run 315/35/17 on 11.5 wide classics. They sit more flush to the outside of the fender than yours. On the inside i have about .50 (max) between the tire and tein coilover. But, by the numbers your tire is 20mm wider. I'm scratching my head here.

Please post some shots from the rear if you don't mind.

 

I have no rubbing. These are old pictures I took. I have my stock TT's on currently and plan to purchase some new 335s soon. My old ones wore out.

 

Thanks. I'm getting out tomorrow and measuring again. This is going to piss me off if I've been replacing 315s all these years and I could have been buying 335s

 

Datruth, what wheels do you have? Some custom wheels only come in a few offsets so I may be able to figure it out.

Will, what tires do you have? Keep in mind that even though Datruth's wheel isn't as flush, it also isn't as wide despite the tire size, it will take up less room. If you think you can fit a 335 in the rear, I may just order new wheels. I'll call tire rack to verify there return policy if 335's don't fit afterall, and I'll just run 315's.

 

Yeah, with my size and offset, even if I do have room on the inside, I'd have around 10mm extruding even farther past the fender. A light pull could probably fix that.

I've currently got 315/35/17 BFG G-force T/A KD.

OZ Galileo III is the name of the wheel. I don't think they make it anymore. 335 Nittos do run smaller.

 

Steve, if you're still set on doing the 335 tire, I would go with an 18x11 like DaTruth's set up & also run the Nitto NT555r drag. If you go with an 18x11.5, I'm sure you'll run into fitment issues even though the Nitto runs narrower.

 

^ NO

Why are some owners so hung up on a wider tire # that offers nothing else but that. Sigh. Bulge much !?

APPROVED WHEEL WIDTH FOR 335's are 11.5 MINIMUM. Look it up yourself and see why Toyo & Nitto STATE that as a FACT and even more so , a 12" wheel PREFERRED ideally for such a tire. I posted previously that you want a functional setup w/o hamper. 12's need work. You want to stay stock rolled/cut fenders ? Stay 11.5" width & 315 tire Max (w proper supporting offsets) That's plenty enough. I may know something on this topic...

 

Preach it brother!!!

^^^ Tell that to Steve.

 

I have a 20x11 +50mm offset, 8" back spacing & 4" front spacing from bump pad to the lip of the rim with 305/25-20's tires (26.08" tall) on the rear and it fits perfect on a 20x11 rim, the only mod i did was shave the fenders, no rolling at all! Actually there's more than a 1" of clearance for the back of my rim to my Tein coilovers. So if your going to run a 335 you'd need to run a +65 mm offset(9" back spacing) on a 18x12" rim and there would need to be some shaving to the fenders! A 335 in my opinion is to fat looking on a 11.5" rim! A wider tire equals a larger/wider contact patch, ask any lambo or viper owner, more contact patch= more traction!

 

You mean.....

more sidewall = more traction?

 

Always Think outside the box!

 

wow!

 

Without the proper sidewall height, contact patch does not necessarily mean better traction.

 

Actually i've had 275/30-20's tires with a 3.25" sidewall height on a 20x10 rim and i've got 305/25-20 tires with a 3" sidewall height on a 20x11 and my 305's grab alot better than 275's which have a 1/4" more sidewall height! and contact patch with proper height does give better traction! The person who made this topic wasn't concerned about height in this topic, the topic was width and a 335/30-18 offers more width and height over the 305/30-18 which equals more traction!

 

The generally accepted widest tire/wheel combo on a stock bodied supra is 18x10/18x11 (or 11.5) with 285/30 / 315/30 offsets are +51 give or take a mm or 2. Coilovers are required and the inner fender needs to be completely cut away but should fit without rubbing and still be set up like a normal car. Usual tyre for this combo is Toyo R888s as there are not many availabe that match those sizes.

 

18x11.5...holy crap thats huge

 

Standard issue supra size.
