Default 335 rears for C5Z for AS / SSR

I'm sure this has been covered before but I'm not finding it.

Anything other than longer wheel studs and a 1/4" spacer needed to run BFG or A7's on the rear of a C5Z? I've already got the Koni yellow shocks.

A six pack for your tire mounting guy

335 will be a tight squeeze on a 10.5" rim

Doable but not sure if ideal

I use stock studs and a 5 mm spacer.

I would agree with this. 335 Hoosiers were not really coming up to temp for a Ladies driver I was doing tire pressures for in Toledo (who was doing a burnout before each run, and still the rears didn't get hot until her 4th run). I think the 315 front is useful in SSR, but I wonder if a 315-18 square setup would actually be better because every car needs more front tire. But it also gives you a shorter sidewall to gather back some of the turn in response lost with the wide tire on tiny wheel, but also should heat up the rears at a similar rate.

P.S. I'm not aware of any AS drivers pinching the 335 Rival onto a stock 10.5" rear. It is common is SSR though. And I'd rather mount a 335 A7 onto a 10.5 than a 335 Rival any day of the week, f*ck mounting those 200 TW tires, they're a pain in the *** on the correct wheels.
