335 Kumho XS Pics!!!
These are Michelin 335s with a true 13.5" width. Use on Lamborghini, early Vipers, Ferraris, Porsche Gemballa,etc. These are on 17x 13 wheels spreading the 335 properly. I have never heard of the Kumhos but it's good to have a tire alternative that's not 400+ each.

I have the standard 17x11 ZR1. The tires come almost even with the quarter panel. I severely beat the hell out of the inner wells to make the Nitto's not rub... EVER. These are wider and rub when I take tight turns or odd angles. I'm sure with a little more work they won't rub. I will take more pictures after a few hundred miles and see if they get a little wider. The specs show that an 11" rim would be the narrowest you could go with a 335 so if the rim was a little wider, so would the tire I think. I also completely cut the whole bumpstop assembly out and had MAYBE 1/8" clearance from the old bumpstop location from the rim... that's when the car was lifted. Yeah, the Michellins are wider but they do not justify a $250 per tire price difference for me. If these last like my Nitto's (15,000 and GOING) then I will continue to buy them. Biggest complaints with Nitto's DR on all 4 corners were they pull everywhere on slightly rough roads and the sidewall had alot of flex in them, so much that you felt like you were missing a sway bar sometimes.

I have Strano Springs they will stop anything 
and Koni shocks. In over a year with that setup, I've never come close to bottoming the axle out and my shocks are on full soft.

I dont like how stretched the tire looks on that wide of a rim. I dont think they look too bad on an 11 though. Too bad our cars wont hold that much rubber without having the tire right under the fender.

Finally beat the hell out of my inner wells again and it fixed the rubbing issue. When I had the Nitto's DR and the Sumitomos they were skinny and didn't rub after the BFH but these took some work.
