Pretty sure that the 335-35ZR17 was designed by Michelin for the Viper specifically.

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?

batchman · 04-04-2016

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,
