Ran 335/35-17 Michelin Pilots on my Z for a while and had no issues.

Concur. Had them on the 95 and they were fine. Great tires. Costco was the best all around deal for me although the Registry gets good prices on the tires. --Bob

I have run 335/35/17 Michelin for many years no problem here in my opinion they should have came from the factory with them it needs the extra rubber.

I don't believe there was such a tire in '89 (never checked/don't know) and the actual wheel spec for the tire (by dimensions) I believe 12" was/is suggested but of course there are min/max so ..

I run 335/35-17 Michelin Pilot Sports on my '92 Z and have for a couple of years. I could not find the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's in the 315/40-17 size at the time. Before I bought them I checked with Michelin Tech and the said they would be fine on the stock 11.5" rims. They fit very well, no sidewall bulge, and have superior traction. I will continue to use them. I do love the looks of the Goodyear's though.

Pretty sure that the 335-35ZR17 was designed by Michelin for the Viper specifically.
Viper tires 92-94
Size & Type P275/40 ZR17 - front, P335/35 ZR17 - rear

I'm quite sure you're correct and I'm also quite sure the wheels were 13". The fronts for the 275's were very likely 10" also.

335s fits on '94-'95 rear rims? And what's the maximum size we can put on front rims?

My 335/17's are on 12" CCWs and I do get slight slight rubs that point to needing maybe 0.031" more than my current spacers (I think they're 0.625?).
On the 9.5" fronts I have run 295's with no issues but like the above they were Hoosiers, which present somewhat like a cantilevered slick.
Cheers,

Just received the same rears Michelin PS 335'steamrollers, 3715-3815 date codes...last production run, get them before the Viper guys buy them all up.
Pre-ordered fronts 275 upcoming production run for 2016.
Total of $1309, excellent seller from CorvetteForum "StickyV35" He can get them, tire shops can't.
...can't wait to delete pressure sensors.
...can't wait for the Fikse Dymag Gen ll wheels to be made, I'll use the same seller for Michelin SS.
