Re: 335 or larger.
I have plenty of pics on my CD site of 335s on my car with 2" spacers mounted on 11" wide ZR1 wheels. They bulged pretty good so I went with 315s and 1.5" spacers. Now they sit perfectly in line with the front wheels and there is less rubbing. Next time I get the car painted I will have the inner fender lips cut off, or rolled heavily. With will eliminate the rubbing alltoeather.
I have way to many pics on my CD site to post here. Check it out. I show what metal needed to be cut out to make them fit. I can also fill you in on how to make super cheap bump stops once you cut the stock ones off.

Re: 335 or larger.
wow they really stuck out there... Im Mini tubbing mine and probably relocating the LCA's to make room for a possible 355 but I really want to keep the look I have now with the ZR1's on the 4thgen rear.

Re: 335 or larger.
I have hoosier 335s on my 17x11 zr-1 rims. The picture has the stock 9 bolt with 1/4 spacers and offset control arms with a mini tub.

post 860 is me
The mini tub is not that hard to do and the wheels actually fit inside the outer fenders. I have since put a fab 9" in there so no need for 1/4inch spacers

Re: 335 or larger.
335/30/18, tucked under the fender, about 1/2" in from the face of the quarterpanel lip, just about where the tire is stock. Minitub, offset control arms, coilovers. the interior panels wont fit, had to widen them. That was more work than the minitub, over a year and im still nto done.

Re: 335 or larger.
If you just have to get the most, Pirelli does make a 355/25R19, and it calls for a 12.5" wide wheel as the minimum.

Re: 335 or larger.
Random side question.
Is it true that Nittos run a bit thinner in general when compared to other tires?
Also I assume you guys are going to be cutting most of your stock wheel wells out correct? Maybe going with relocated coilovers?
I will def be doing this someday. I run 315s now.

Re: 335 or larger.
Is it possible to do this Mini Tub without the use of coil overs? I don't mind everything else but the coil overs have me on the fence.

Re: 335 or larger.
with mine, the standard 5" spring is in the way, i actually cut the hump up inside the spring perch almost perfectly in half during the minitub.
If you get a little creative, you could probably relocate the spring perches inboard and use a smaller diameter spring. Have to fab a new upper mount though.
And if things work out well, i may actually have pics of something like that soon along with another project ive been secretly working on
