335/35 would be hard to fit without rubbing badly.

Stick with 315/35/17....that's like the standard for a 11" wide wheels. And while you're at it, read all the other threads that are on this page right now about 315's, I put quite a bit of info in them so you know what's involved with putting 315's on your car.

295s and 305's.

Go to tire racks website and check the spec sheets for each tire there, they show min and max wheel size for each size tires.
