It has huge racing flares, and I'd rather fill the wheel wells up with wider tires than go with spaced out wheels and only 335 tires.

I'd like to keep the wheel sizes to maybe 17" front and 18" or 19" rear. I want to retain the proper stance.

What's out there? Any help would be appreciated.

The wider tire available over the 335 is a 345. This is what a Group 4 car would have had i.e. 345/35-15 and in my opinion the only tire that truly looks correct on a wide body car. I don't think you can get 345 width in 17" any more, there used to be a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, definitely more choices available in 18" wheels sizes.
