I currently have Kinesis 17x11's on the rear with 6" backspacing and I've never been happy
as I can "only" get 315's under the car. I have Quella's roller bearing upright conversion
and it moves the hub out. It' time to buy tires and I'd prefer to get 335's ..... Possibly
thinking about 18/17" setup.

Dave,
I've done a Registry search using 17" front 17" rear and unknown for both wheel widths and
the Registry database shows: Number of Records Returned: 387
Common tires in this list include:
Bridgestone 335/35 ZR17
Michelin Pilot 335/35/17
MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 335/30ZR17
Michelin Pilot 335/45
Pirelli P Zero 335/35
I again entered 17" and 17" diameters, with a 9 inch front width
and an 11 inch rear width (most SPECIFIED common sizes)
and the registry database shows: Number of Records Returned: 26
Using 17" front and 18" rear shows (widths set to unknown) returns 10 records.
A LOT of people have >YET< to enter/update their wheel & tire sizes,
but this indicates a lot of people run 335s. Could your brake package be moving your hub
surface outboard?
