Dunno if it helps, but I have 305/50/20s on mine with just a wee bit of rubbing on a 2wd RCSB.

You want to try and stuff a tire that's about 13.5 " wide into a stock wheelwell. Wow. The 305/50r20's are only 12" wide. Only thing that would bug me is that a 335/35r18 is only like 27" tall. I would think that to fit that tire you would need a narrowed rearend with widened inner fenders. But no doubt a tire that wide would look badass.

would it be worth all the narrowing, re-locatin, shortening etc etc... for the look??? I know that you would obviously have tons more traction if yu used the right tire but I dont see the point in it just for "the look" ... just my $.02 though. I would def do it if it helped considerably at the strip... and put some 185's on the front

I have 20x9 centerlines with 285's in the rear and they look big to people. I would love/need 305's in the rear but they wont fit on my rims

My 20" Helo Hawks are 20x9 and the Toyos fit - little bit of bulge, but they fit fine for me.
