335 Hoosiers on 11" wheel at the rear?
Has anyone tried 335 Hoosiers on a 11" wheel at the rear for track events?
Does it roll over?
How does it wear on a camber challenged car?
What pressure works best? (lower than a 315 or higher).
I have a source for cheap ones, why I'm asking. Normally I run 315's.
Thanks.

I dont do track stuff, but I did just put 2 335's on 17 x 11 inch wheels yesterday and they fit and they look good. Hoosiers' web site says they can go on 11-13 inch wheels while tirerack says 11.5 to 13 inch.
If I hadn't read hoosiers specs first I might not have bought them.

I have run Hoosiers 335's (I assume you are referring to the $85 close out tires from Hoosier) on the rear. I have them mounted on 50mm offset 17x11 OE Concepts. I had some rubbing on the rear trailing arms, even with a 1/4" spacer. It wasn't bad, but it definitely rubbed. I had problems cording them on the shoulders, even with -1.3 camber rear.
I usually cord the outside (315's) due to insufficient negative camber.

There's "will they fit?", and then there's "is it a good idea?"
I've got 335's on 12in rims, they're really screaming for 13in rims.

I have 36mm offset 5 spoke A-molds, so it should clear. Are you saying you didn't cord the 315's, but corded the 335's? Did you cord them because of the rubbing or because the tire rolled over? I only bought two, figured, will try them first. If it worked for others I would get another set now while they are available.

make sure you fenders are not rubbing the tires and cording the outside. Don't ask me how I know it can happen even with a 1200 lb. front spring.:o

I'm not sure exactly why they corded, but they didn't last very long (even for Hoosiers).
