Default Widest 315's?

I just ordered some 17x11 ZR1's for the rear of my car and im going to need some new rubber. I want to put 335's on there but they are so expensive. If I somehow find a good deal on them i'll go for it, but in the mean time I just wanted to know who makes the fattest 315 for a 17" wheel out there? Also has anyone has heard of Vredestein Sessanta tires? Thanks in advance!

I might be going out on a limb, but these are friggen wide.

Tires are 17 Inch Yokohama A032R H-Compound (Track) Tires. P315/35ZR17 rear, and P275/40ZR17 front.

My BFG KD's are a hair wider than 12.5" on an 11 inch wheel with 30 LBS in them. I think thats pretty wide. See sig for a rough idea of what they look like.

Thanks for all the help and responding so quickly.

I see that i have a lot of choices with the 315's.

Im also looking at the Hoosier 335/35-17 drag radial.

I'll have to see how much i can afford to spend once the wheels get here.
