Seems like there are as many opinions about tire sizes as there are on searches.
Looks like the stock setup has the tire completely inside the fender, and responses here show some flush with it. Is there any chance it could make contact? I have the F55 suspension, does that matter?

SUH-WEEEEET!!!!
. Lol. Have you had any issues with rubbing against the fenders with the wider rims/tires, or can you turn the wheel to full lock w/o any issues?
Looks great!

There's no way a 335 tire on a stock 19" wheel won't hit the fender.
A 285 on an stock 8.5" wheel is wrong, a 335 on a stock 10" wheel is just as bad. I'm surprized you could find someone to mount them for you, most shops would turn down mounting those tires on those wheels.

I was told the same about the 285's on the front and they are on the car to this day.

Besides tires, add sway bars to F55!

I have the improved CCW T10 18" x 9.5" 1" lip fronts and 19" x 11.00" 2" lip rear wheels but have the stock Mitchlin A/S tires now. The next set will be the larger rubber.

I had 325/35's on stock rims on my 2005 coupe with no problems. They were General's and they don't even make them anymore. There was a little bulge around the rim but never had a problem with them.

Any new people looking for tire size guidance take some of the above posts with a couple of grains of salt. Try http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp for closer to unbiased info.
The guys that are claiming they mounted 335 and/or 325 rear tires on a stock 10" wide rim and then mounted the tires w/stock rims on a non Z06 C6 without problems haven't convinced me of anything other than anybody can post anything.
Regardless of the fact that no shop that knows what they are doing would mount a 335/325 tire on a 10" rim. And that a 335 is almost 2" wider @ the sidewall than the stock 285 so there's an additional 1" of tire sticking out of the fenderwell.
I notice that none of the photos show the tire size or have a view from directly behind showing how much tire extends past the fender.

I can believe 325's fit with no issues in the rear, they are only 1.6 inches wider than stock only needing .8 inches on each side for clearance. Should be no issues with that unless you are lowered in the rear end quite a bit. They do recommend a rim width of 10.5 for a 325 thou but will fit on a 10 in rim
