11" represents the narrowest wheel that those 335/35's should be mounted on. So it's legitimately do-able. I'd expect you'd gain a little in ride quality and give up a little in handling response vs the 12" measuring rim for that tire size. Truly hardcore handling fanatics would shoot for 13" wide wheels (the upper end of "acceptable range").

I think they look great Tbar. If I do 335's instead of a 315 or 305, I'd do an 11" rim also.

I have 335/35's on 17x11" rims. The tire shop guys said they were pretty tough to get on but they fit.

The sidewalls do look "sucked" in quite a bit.

they were easy to mount, I have a nice machine at work, went right on. they don't seem to bulge that much.

You probably have a little over half an inch bulge as measured between a straightedge laid across the tire and the outside of the flange. Visually, that's not an unreasonable amount for about 4" of sidewall between the wheel's flange OD and the tread surface.

The difference in tread width between a 315/35/ and a 335/35 on a 17x11 wheel is pretty minimal,guys. 335's are only happy in a narrow width range,,12"-13".
I'm running 17x13's on my car.

20mm to be exact, they look pretty happy to me, and so am I. For this price
I'll try them.

From your pictures, they don't seem to bulge as much as mine do. Maybe due to different tire manufacturer's? Mine are an old, used set of Goodyears that I don't believe they make any longer.
From the pics it looks like your running Michelin's? I may have to give them a try.

Thanks.

I didn't even know they made that size until the other day, my viper buddy was selling them and asked me if I knew anybody who wanted them, I said me, me, me. The viper has a 12 in rim. I don't know if anybody else makes that size.
