I'm not sure how wide the HTRZII runs on tread width, but you could try a 315/35ZR17 Goodyear GS-D3. Those things have REALLY wide tread width. The 275/40 looked almost as wide as my 315 Nitto DRs! If you want a subtle difference in width, this might work instead of trying to fit 335s.

315 Sumo's run extremely small hence why they are like $10, get a Michelin,Goodyear, or a BFG and you will see the difference

How wide are the Sumi's? I know when i switched from Nitto 555Rs, to the 555s (street tire), they were a little over an inch wider than the drag radial. The measure a little over 12" at the tread. Heres a pic of the 555 on the left, 555R (drag radial) on the right.

i noticed the sumis were about the same as a 315 nitto DR so the nitto 555 street tire or a goodyear would be much wider.

Id go with 315 GSD3s if you're wanting wide street tires. They will be noticeably wider than the sumi's for sure.

GSD3's for the win. That's assuming money isn't a variable.
