depends on the backspacing. I have a 335 on a 11.5" rim. It does stick out about 1/2". To me its a small price to pay for all that bologna under the rear.

With the correct backspacing and such, it should. You didn't list backspacing or offset or anything.

Default 335's on 11 inch rim?????

I have a set of CCW's (18x11.5) with Mich PS 335's on the rears and they stick out 3/4" outside the fender wells.

But they look double bad! I don't think there is a need to mini tub at least I didn't have to, however with different wheels you may have wierd offsets and hence have to do something different.

Good luck, TJ

If you're thinking of the Michelin PS2 335/30/20, do realize that tire is 28" tall, or about 2" taller than stock Z06 tires.

It's also recommended for a mnimum of 11.5" wheel, but I suspect you could squeeze it on an 11.
