a couple pictures of 335's in action Options

They aren't great but you can make out the fender lip profile for fitting 335's. It's nothing drastic.

Sorry couldn't figure out how to link directly to the pics.click on #33,#36 on page 2

I've been thinking about doing something similar all the way around so I can end up w/ 335s in the back also but clear the 315s up front at a lower ride height. I had to raise my car back up for the 315s up front and while I ended up w/ no rubbing issues I'd like to get the advantage of a lower CG and it flat out looks better lower. Here's how it sits now:

Looks great Lonnie! I like the fender flare look. I'm fixing to do something like that to fit 16x12's. Did you do anything to open up the front fenders/wheel wells? What did you use to flare the rear fenders?

[ESPCamaro]

I still have 11" wheels with 315's in front. I'm waiting for Kumho to come out with a 335 18 tire that isn't taller than the current 315 17's.

FWIW I won't do anything to the front except 'maybe' up the front spring rate

Is that a cone flying in the second pic? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That looks *AWESOME*. What did you use to flare the rear fender?

[ESPCamaro]

Yep that was a cone. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
It was a two day event, and I went home after Sat because I hit at least two cones on every run.

I used a BFH to flare the fenders. I havn't finished the paint/bodywork because I've been thinking about a complete re-paint

Nice-your car looks serious. Guess I should save up for some real race wheels. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I figure I'll keep my black vette wheels so people don't take me seriously-not like they'd have a reason to take me seriously anyways.

BTW, that red/pink CP Firebird usually runs at our local events. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to the owner though. But I drool looking at it.

I sent you a PM about your driver's seat.

Good work with the BFH. It looks great, at least from this distance. I'm wondering how a Harbor Freight Porta Power unit would work to do that. They're on sale right now. Maybe heat up the paint with a hot air gun first so it doesn't crack.

Lonnie, I assume those are 17x12 wheels. What offset are they?

[ESPCamaro]

Not sure of the offset (I guess I could figure it out (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) but they are a 7.5" backspace.

If CCW could build them, you could go with a backspace of about 7-11/16" which is probably the absolute max inboard you would want to put the wheel. For flexy flier slicks I'd stick with a 7.5" backspace, maybe even a 7.25"

Yeah they are 17x12's.
Just need Kumho come out with the tire I want, and buy 2 18x12's. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

[Cal]

Thanks, yeah I said "offset" but backspace is what I meant. I'm planning to go with Real wheels rather than CCW, they are cheaper and lighter. Only problem is they only build wheels on one inch increments. I've got to give them a call and see if the will make me some on 7.5" backspacing anyway.
