Maximum Rear Tire Width
Searched through the forums, but was unable to find exactly what I was looking for, so i'm posting it up, hopefully someone will be able to answer the question.
Basically I'm wondering what the Maxium Rear tire width is able to fit in the rear. I would like to run either a 19" or 18" rim depending on tire size availability for a 335. Also, if running a 335 in the rear requires any modifications to the rear fenders. Also assuming the car will be lowered. If you guys have any pictures with the car running 335's in the rear it would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, what would be the ideal offset for the rim to fit a tire of this size, if it is at all possible to do so. Thanks!

You can run a 18 x 11 in the rear with a 315 with stock fenders. To run the 335 or 345 you will need to mini tub (see LPE website) the car to fit 18x12 or 19 x 12 rims.
With the car tubbed you can run 9" back spacing on the 18's or 9.5 on the 19's.
Give John @ CCW a call, 386-258-0083, he is very familiar with the C5's and what works. Alot of Forum members run his wheels.
I just tubbed my car and ordered a set from John.
good luck.
