My SSRs are 18x10.5 +43. I could barely fit my index finger between the stock struts and the tires. But with coilovers you tend to have bit more room.
My RE30s are 18x10.5 +25, And if you cut the inner lip on the rear flares, I think you should be able to run 335s without an issue. As 18x10.5 +25 will give almost 20mm more inner space and the lip is about 10mm.
Out of curiosity, what is your goal??
Now my update..
I've finally moved everything out of my old garage and into the new.. Now, I'm starting to get things organized and start working on the cars.
I been meeting with the local powder coating guy to get a good bronze powder coat to refinish the MS-01S wheels. After looking at 30 or so different shade of Bronze, I've found one that I really like. Wheels will be stripped and coated within couple of weeks.
I also go my RX-7 Magazines from Japan. Thanks to one of the forum member..
Now I have a complete collection of these and going to start looking through to gain some knowledge on RX7 parts 
And finally, my Halon fire extinguisher for the house....
I hope I never have to use this..
I have PZero and they are super light for its size... Not that I'm an expert in tires.. but my trial and error lead me to believe its not about the size but what brand/model tires you use. I'm guessing since you said you have a goal in mind, its more for performance?? If so, I would pick a brand/model as it might perform better than size range you are looking for.
I went from PS2 on my FD (been a huge fan of PS2s in the past) and when I tried Advan Sports, same size made a noticeable difference. Now, I have Advan AD08s in same size and going to see how that will feel.

Zhe, If you get the offset right and maximize the width, I think you could definitely put 335 under Feed rear flares. I mean, I put 305 on 10.5s and that offset wheel leaves me good bit of space.
Anyhow, here is my latest update..
1. My paint and body guy in ATL, GA now flaked on me and became VERY unreliable. Because of that, I'm in the process of picking up all my parts and now searching for a new guy in Bham.. I've contacted couple of guys to see if they are interested in taking on my car.
2. I finally got the black Bride fabric from Bride USA. My upholstery guy finished the rear seats and I installed them last night.. He did a fantastic job and if any of you AL guys are looking for a upholstery guy, take your stuff to Luis Perez at Mobile Car Upholstery in Pelham, AL. He was very reasonable and did a fantastic job!
Here are couple of pics of the rear seats..
Sorry for the bad pic.. its was taken via my phone.
3. Found the Bronze powder coat I like and my powder coating guy is ordering it. I'm hoping to get the wheels to him sometime next week.

Those magazines are discontinued as of I think 2 years now.
Update...
I went to Import Alliance over the weekend and met some cool FD owners.
But before the event, I went over to see David Garfinkle and got my engine torque brace re-done so I can install my new brace system (which I think its more for looks).
Here are some pics..
New mounting bracket, which is lowered to clear the brace
New extended rod
New rod installed
driver side brace... I took out the cruise control and relocated my twin power.
Fits perfect!!
Before strut brace
Finished!
And my throttle cable was sticking a bit with the 90mm Rotary Works TB so Garfinkle shortened the cable and modified the cable bracket. Works great now..
By the way, Garfinkle's Engine Torque brace is a must for any FD owner. If you want one, he can be reached via email: [email protected]
