Default Widest tire on a 10.5" wheel for my FRC 305 or 335?

17x9.5 and 18x10.5

running 275/40/17 up front. Nitto 555's


Backs need replaced. the are 275 run flats right now. Looking to upgrade to the Nitto 555 drag radial.

305/35ZR/18
305/40R/18
305/45R/18
335/30ZR/18

Car is a 2000 FRC. I dont have the Z06 ducts on it. Can I get away with a 335/30 on there without a mini tub or rolling anything?

Car isnt lowered but will be putting the PFDAT struts on it (not coilovers)

Thanks in advance guys.

335's are real wide, over 13inches. There not even recommended for a 10.5 rim.
305/35 prob the way to go. 40 and 45 are tall as hell

305s are the way to go on a 10.5" wheel

305s for sure. I had them on a set of 10.5s on my coupe and they looked great! im actually going to a 305 rear in a week and a half. Jay
