Reply to "Wanted group 4 17" wheels"

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

quote:

You'll find the same selection as 335/35's are rated for rims from 11 to 13" width.

I'm curious about this issue. If the tire is a 335 anyway, what would be the benefit of the wider wheel?

I understood that 335 was the width of the tire in mm (works out to 13.19 inches). I'm not challenging that they might fit somehow, because my A4 had 245 (9.65 inches) tires on 9 inch rims, but would it be a good idea? I got curb rash whenever I got within a foot of a curb (OK, maybe it was less than a foot...). Even then, the tire was over half an inch wider than the wheel, not only 1/8 inch.

If anyone could post a pic of a 13" wheel with the 335's, I'd love to see what it looks like.
