I think the brakes on an 335 are too large to clear 16" rims. An lightweight 17" should fit

k....
runflats are PITA to remove just to throw on a dr every once in a while.
17 inch should hook better but i know lots of guys that run 18 bfg dr w/no problem so....

They won't clear the fronts. The size of the back brakes is a moot point because you wouldn't mix different rims sizes.

The title of the thread is about (MT DR)Mickey Thompson Drag radials,no? So why would you think of putting them on the fronts? Now that the point isnt so moot,Im curious if they will clear the rear calipers.And yes,I would mix rim sizes for this ordeal,that is the entire idea of running the smaller rim,to gain sidewall height.
