I was thinking of trying to squeeze some 335's on a 17X11 ZR1 wheel with 50mm offset. Will it work without issues?

Some trimming of the stock LCA's might be necessary also unless you're using aftermarket LCA's.Mike

aw dang. If 315's are a problem them 335's would be worse. I guess I better get a GBFH!! LOL!!
I really don't mind if they stick out a little. I just want some traction. The 275 KDWS's are useless. They even spin in third at 70-80 mph when the boost kicks in.

Your logic is somewhat flawed because you left out one factor......contact patch. And if I wanted to get max hookage I'm well aware of what a full slick can do. We are looking for max traction on a street tire with a relatively stiff sidewall. In this case the more rubber you have on the road the better.
