Default 335/30/18 PILOT SPORTS brand new zero miles

335/30/18 PILOT SPORTS brand new zero miles.

The Tire Rack sells these for $237 per tire plus shipping cost. A new pair would cost about $490 shipped.

This brand new pair can be had for $380 shipped.

What size rims would I need to fit these tires? I am assuming it would have to be tubbed. Those are some phatties! :eek:

Is it for certain that tubbing is required to fit these bad boys on? Appreciate the help and thanks.

Tubbing is NOT required if you have a wheel with proper offset. I have CCW's (18x11.5) and previously used the 335/30/18 Michelin Pilot Sports with no tub. Sticks out a bit, but looks :reddevil

I have Mallet 396s (18X 11) which are offset cause they stick out. What I don't know is if there is enough offset? Also how does the height of these compare with the 295/35 Pilot Sports? Can anybody help be here as I would like to buy these tires? Thanks.
Joe

Mallett site says their mini tub option "Allows use of 18" 335/345 tires". Not sure if I'd try it without the tub. Try giving them a call?

These 335/30/18's will fit:
Z06 18x10.5 wheel
Mallet/XMS 18x11
CCW/HRE/iForged/Kinesis etc... 10.5-12.5 widths.

John at CCW makes a 18x11.5 wheel that fits the C5 without tubbing. It sticks out of the wheel well just slightly but looks mean.

Micheline Pilot sports tend to run a bit narrower than other brands. An S02 Potenza is almost 1 inch wider in tread width compared to a pilot sport. The 335/30/18 is 26.1 inch tall. A 295/35/18 is 26.2 inches tall.

10.5 is as narrow as you can go...an 11inch width or larger is recommended.

These tires are still up for grabs :smash:

Thanks Guys, will give Mallet a call to be on the safe side. I'd really rather not tub the car if I don't have to. I do have 18X11s at the rear.
Appreciate all your responses and help.
RC, will get back to you once I have talked with Mallet.
