I agree. If you do get them to "work" then you might be adding in some stress points that might show up later on down the road. I would see about getting a new set sent to you first. Hope they work with you.

I have been talking to Pete and he is pleading my case to the manufacturer. Initially it was my fault that I didn't inspect the fenders close enough to find the cracks caused during shipping. My painter actually found them when I got around to starting the project.
The complete lack of proper fitment is an entirely different issue that will hopefully be seen by the manufacturer and I will be sent a new set asap.
Stay tuned gents.

The product you received was not of top quality and your attempts to make it work should be taken into consideration….
If they are a reputable vendor they should send you a new set in my opinion. That good karma goes a long way with other potential customers…..
The wheels look awesome, I don't think I've ever seen a black C5 with that wheel tone….
Good luck…..

335/30-19 is an oddball tire size... 345s are quite common in comparison, as that was OEM on the Gen 3/4 Viper. 285/35-18F|345/30-19R will be fairly easy to find, look tough, and fit quite well, plus they will be available in plenty of great tire choices (Pilot Super Sport, for one).

Will a 285 look stretched at all on a 10.5" wheel?

Pretty sad when a forum vendor has to 'plead you case' to the manufacturer when said vendor is the one you bought them from.
D Lil, car is going to look fantastic when done.
