I'd guess they'd be too wide.

One would need at least 11.5" wide wheels to have a tire like that. 12" or more would be even better. So your stock wagon wheels will not work...

You could go 275-295 on the stock rims though but not 335.

Yup I agree

335s need 11 1/2 or a 12 rim. But with 12" rim you may have to use longer wheel studsand spacer or tub your car or specal offset of the wheel, then the tire may stick out beyond the fender.

Good luck
