The 888's are even wider even though both are 335's and call for the same size rim.

The rims and tires are very impressive Sal. Very cool. I still have mine sitting in boxes waiting to be used. From 2007.

You know if you let tires sit too long they deteriorate.
Most shops won't mount a tire over 6 years old.

I only have the rims. I would need a new set of tires to go with them.
