Default Tire/wheel Question
Can you run a 335/30/18 on a 10 1/2" wheel?

I would say no. Luke is right on the money.

A 335 on a 11.5 or 12.5" wide rim will not fit in the wheel well of a C5 w/o either a tub job or fender flare kit. It will stick out a bit.

Either way, you're gonna need new rims to go that wide.
