Hey guys I need some help running 335s On my evo X. Optimally want to run a rim without spacers but I don't think it's possible. I'm thinking 18 x 12 +10 or +12. I'm not concerned about outer clearance as I run a +35 mm widebody kit all around. I'm more concerned with inner clearances. The only person I've seen come close is evo Dave but the thread wasn't really all that helpful. I've also texted Dave via cell for his advice but he hasn't gotten back to me. Anyone have any helpful input? Thanks in advance!!

Get a very +offset and go to stock height and you should be fine. Just remember everything has limits and you are pushing your limits with a huge tire. Is it possible sure.

Don't know why I'd need to go back to stock height...car has roll center kit and double adjustable suspension with 16k springs in the rear and half the quarter chopped out....I more worried about clearance on the inside

Fixed it for you. A few of your words were reusable.

Do we warn him about not trying to steer or do we let him discover that for himself?

Come on man. 335 is reasonable. I had that on my rear suspension of my lowered tacoma. It was very and I mean very tight. Rubbed my patience to hell.

On a side note. DO NOT RUN A 335 TIRE ON AN EVO.

It's just stupid to run such a wide tire.

This is a stripped out gutted Auto X car only. Plenty of guys using 315s! And 315s on my X wasn't enough tire for the power Im running. It actually sounds like you guys are kinda on the clueless side....thanks for the help! I already knew Iowa was a tool from our last discussions. And no worries I've already been contacted by the cognoscenti of the Motorsports world. Please only opinions from those in the know would be appreciated and keep your daft and doltish views to yourself.....unless you have some semblance of an educated reason why so many top Evo champion autoXers shouldn't run such a wide tire? Oh and btw...auto X is nothing but turning.

The only reason why I might not run a 335 tire is because when I was running a 315 the car was at full weight. Since I've shed close to 300lbs 315 might be just right....oh and let me guess 315 is too wide as well?

Only other real worry was bringing 335 up to temp.....correct camber/contact patch and a codriver should take car of that tho

He might be classified as a tool. But so have I. I have read many of Iowas posts and he seems to be informed. I was thinking this was a street car. My bad.

Use this calculator to determine your rim size and offset:

And then go to Tirerack and see what tire can fit on your wheel.

Btw the widest front tire to ever be put on a production Sports car is 305s, and that happened just a few months ago. They are on the Camaro z28. All other super cars do not exceed 295s for the front tire. I recommend sticking with 295s.
