It will fit. I am not certain if the tire fits in the wheel wel though.

You'll rub the bumpstop (as you would with 315's) and you will have to bang the fender well just a little. I am not too sure if the fender lip will cut the tire, I am pretty sure it will at least scuff and rub.

There is a guy on webshots with a red WS6 with 335's in the rear. He said he rolled the fenderlip, grinded the bumpstop, and had to use an adjustable panhard rod. Hope this helps.

I have a friend with 315's on a 99 SS and he hasn't had any rubbing.

it will fit, but the tire will not be sitting properly on the wheel.
For 335s, get 17x12:
here is a Camaro with 335s on 17x12 on all corners:

If you want 335, do it right.
I have 17x11 and wouldn't put anything wider than 315... you will earn no advantage at all, since the tire will start buldging.

I have 315s and while it did not rub the bump stop during driving It did hang up on the bump stop when the car was jacked from the frame. If you go with a 11" rim you should remove the bump stops. Just dont do any dukes of hazard jumps and it will be fine.
