Default Nitto 335/18

anyone running these?

how is the fit on stock Z 10.5 wheels?

I was planning to run the 305 which I know fits well on a 10.5 wheel until I seen the 335 listed.

I have them on a pair of CCW 500s 11.5" wide. That is the minimum width for a 335. Any less and you will loose contact area due to excessive sidewall buldge.

I wouldn't even think about running a 335 on a 10.5 inch wheel, esspecially if you drive the car often.

I had CCW's on my Cobra and the 305 was a bit of a tight fit...looked a bit stretched. I have run Nitto 315/35/17's on many 9.5" wheels and they fit well with a slight bulge, but no contact patch loss.

I hope to see someone have them on stock wheels so I can get an idea or maybe I will just test them myself

The Nitto is not as wide as other tires of the same size as I know since we sell them. The 275/40/17 is barely larger then a 245 size tire in width. They just seem to run on the more narrow side.
