Default (Pic Request) 335/30-18 tires on OE C5Z wheels

Looking to see C5s with 335/30-18 tires on OEM 18x10.5 wheels. Let me see them!

335 tires on 10.5" wheels is unwise...

I run a 335 but its on an 18x12 c5z wheel. The tire is about 13" wide and would look weird on such a small wheel.

This is why I'd like to see pics. Everyone has their own opinions on the way it looks.

Pretty much everything I saw on Tire Rack concerning recommended wheel widths for that size tire were 11.5" minimum. Not sure you're going to find someone that put a 335 tire on a 10.5" wheel, but you never know.

Obviously tire manufacturers can vary with actual width of tires even when labeled the same size. I know I've seen pics of a 335/30 on 18x10.5 in the C6 section. I believe it was RattG who posted it as he ran it for drag racing.
