I'll say this which does not answer your question: Get yourself some GoodYear Eagle F1 GS D3s in the 315 variety and these tires will more than give you the width you desire. And its a proven set up.

yes it is a proven set up.....it depends on what you are trying to acheive......17x11 will accomidate up to a 335/30/17......kuhmo makes the only tire i have found in that size.....if the 315 isnt wide enough......325 is only 10mm wider.....you need to skip 2 sized to visually see the diff....but.....the gsd3's appear to run a little wider than most due to the shoulder construction
i used to have 315's on my stock ws6 wheels and it looked great
good luck

I don't think they make anything in a 325 that would fit a 17x11. Only sizes I have seen are 315/35R17 and 335/30R17

Try it and report back. I don't think they'll fit without some serious rubbing issues somewhere, but it all depends on how far your wheels stick out already. My CCWs tuck in pretty tight, so I'd think it would be a no-go for me...
