11.5 is smallest you want to go, and 12" would be better.

Most manufacts allow 11-13 for the 335, but I wouldnt recommend an 11 inch from a perfomance stand point. You could widen the stock wheels to 12 like I did.

Had them done by Weldcraft in Michigan. Wheel Works in NJ is another source. Was around $750 for four. Front 9.5 to 11 and rear 11 to 12. If you need detail info, let me know.
