I have 245/40/18's up front with 315/30/18's at the rear. I use 7mm spacers all around, no rubbing.

335's is just simply asking too much right even with spacers? They would be about 2 inches wider then stock tires and 1" wider then a 315 sized tire. I have to find someone locally who has 335's and test fit

BigBadBen and Zippy both run 335/30 in the rear. You just have to heat up the plastic wheel liners and mold them differently. You also have to roll the fenders. I just purchased a set of 335/30/18 and 245 fronts should have them on next week. I will post pics.
