A guy in my car club just stuffed a 335 tire on his '01GT.

you can NOT put that wide of a tire on an 8 inch rim. no way!

i have also not yet seen a single car with tires that wide, no matter what rims were used.

uhhhh, the stock rims will only safely hold a 255.

on the front, 10 inch rims with a 285 is the widest I've seen, and the rear I've seen an 11.5" rim, but the widest tire so far is a 325. I hope to do a 345 on the rear with a 12" wheel, if I can win a lotto or something to pay for the wheels.
