Wide rear tires?

How wide we talking? I think 10-11'' tires looks good on thirdgen's. Not needed unless your making alot of power though.
If I remember right, the tires are 27x10x15, but they were a little bit to big. If I spun them they would expand and rub on the wheel wells. The rims were 15x8 weld prostars

I stuck some 335/35/17's on my car to test fit them,
It is sticking out a bit since I had to use a bolt on spacer on the 4th gen rear since it was raining and I didn't have time to remove the bumpstop which was in the way.
