IMPOSSIBLE without a mini-tub.

End of story.

They stick out, and I like that look.

End of story.

That's fine if you like the look. But like I said, it's not going to work. Put those tires on and the first dip or bump in the road you hit will leave you with damaged tires and buckled quarter panels - unless you raise the rear of the car up 2-3"

When I was trying to get my 275/40/17s mounted on my 9.5" ZR1s, I had a lot of tire shops (Mr. Tire for example) flat out tell me that their mechanics had no experience with wheels that big. They stated that they were not responsible if the wheels got damaged because they were aftermarket size (

). Guess they're all used to Hondas and such.

We're actually pretty set on all of those things...house came with new appliances and curtains...furniture has been donated to use by our families...we now have 4 couches, three entertainment centers, 4 TVS, a dinning room table, etc. The thing we are missing the most is a king size bed...silly woman keeps rolling over and taking up the entire queen size bed. Anyone have an extra?

WTF?! I have mounted 10 inch slicks with no problems. Sounds like that tire shop is full of lazy @$$es.

Slicks are stupid easy to mount. Those 335s can be a whore depending on the type of machine you have

When I worked for Goodyear last year, the shop got a new Corghi Artiglio which was awesome for mounting Run-Flat Vette tires, Porsche 911 tires, BMW M3 tires and SRT8 tires. Any other machine without a third arm won't work.

I have to mount up my Hoosiers and I am scared to death of damaging the new rims... there just is not much to them at all.

*sigh* Some people have no originality. Why should I stick to 11" wide wheels like everyone else? I wanted something different and I found something I like. My rear is at stock ride height and I plan on revisiting my suspension this winter, along with rolling the fenders.

Your car looks like how mine looks. From the top of the rear tires, they sit flush with the top of the rear quarters, yet appear to stick out where the rear bumper curves inward. I like it.
