Default C6 - 17x11 - Kumho 710s - 315 & 335 Pics

I mounted the tires for this weekend's AAS event at Castle AB and thought I'd take some pictures of the fit. The offset isn't correct but the price is right as I have $1,100 in used tires and new wheels mounted and balanced. I'll give them a try starting at 28psi F and 24psi R. Weatherman's predicting 75-80 deg. for both days.
This is a little dark but both F & R are seen.

The rear 335 side view.

The rear 335 tire showing how much it sticks out.

Another view of the rear with a good reflection.

That looks horrible, hope you don't crack your fenders.

They could crack but my bet is you will see the tires and fenders cut into each other if you turn hard on stock suspension.

Nope, they don't hit the fenders and we're not running moguls so they don't hit bottoming out. The back of the rim touches the tierods when turned near full lock so just need to watch it in the pits. And ... blue 2" painter's tape is used.
