According to the literature I found 13 inches would be the widest recommended rim, very common width for the 335 is an 11 inch width.

Larry, an 11" rim isn't ideal for a 335 width tire; however, it is acceptable. Increasing the width of a 2 piece wheel to 11.5", 12" or wider costs considerably more than an 11" wide wheel. That's because the company that supplies rims to Wilkinson, Coddington, American Republic, etc., make an 11" rim but nothing wider. If you want a wider rim, it involves cutting 2 rims in half and welding them back together, to give the width and offset you want.
