Kumho has a 335 with a minimum wheel width of 11 inches, most other 335s require a 12 inch rim. Check out TireRac for absolute specs though, I could be mistaken.

Here are a few pics of 335s BFG R1s on my "too narrow" rims {17X10.5s}.
The minimum recommended wheel width was something like 12 inches. The tires didn't work worth a hoot on the narrow rims. They would stick great then just let go all of a sudden. Not very controllable at all. The only time I've even spun out on accident was when I was running these tires. They also didn't work good at all at the strip {no suprise there}.

335s and 345s have to weigh a TON! I used to have AFS chrome ZR1s with 17x9.5/17x11s with 275/315 BFG Comp T/A ZRs (not drag radials) and the 315s were obscenely heavy; had to be almost double the weight of the stock silver 17x9s w/ 275-40zr-17 F1s. I definetly could feel the difference with the added weight in acceleration over the OEM set-up. With that much power...you ought to just run Mickey Thompson ET STREETS. I ran my 26x10.5x16 ET STREETS for a few weeks on the street and traction was NEVER an issue; even with 30ish psi. If I had your power I wouldn't waste my time with plain street tires.
