Do you mean "will my 335 tires fit"?

Most manufacturers recommend a wheel width of 11" - 13" for that size tire. So they will "fit" on the wheels. There are a few people here who have manged to "fit" that combo on a 4th Gen (we have no idea what kind of car you are trying to put them on???).

Suggestions/Helpful hints:
-Add a "signature" with basic info about your car, like year, model, tranny, and any major mods.
-Turn off the "caps lock".... the system edits all caps posts and produces the results you got above with the first letter of each word. Makes things hard to read. Punctuation helps too :)

The tires should fit on the wheels. You might have to roll the rear fender lips so you don't ruin the sidewalls, and possibly have to do some hammering but it will be worth it!

Heres a link from someone who rolled the fenders. Also there are some before/after photo's on the second page.

You might be better off just buying some 315's so that you don't have to go through as much trouble.

You asked if the tires would fit on the wheels. You didn't ask if the wheels+tires would fit on the car - with or without body modifications. What is the offset on the wheels?

From what I hear, 275's up front and 315's in the back will fit with no modification and no rubbing.

That's a lot of rubber. Do you really need more? What are your plans for this car?

Read the FAQ! Its written by someone who has actually done it.

It explains that the 17x11 wheels with 315/35's need the right offset, and even then you MAY have to hammer the inner fenders, cut the protruding edge off the jounce bumper brackets, recenter the body over the rear axle, or roll the fender lips. These are all "modifications". Not everyone has to do any or all of these. There is a huge variation in the way they fit on the 4th Gens.... you can not simply say they will fit with no modification. Yes.... on one car out of five it might, but the other four people are going to be screwed if they don't expect to have to make modifications.
