I have a '68 that I tubbed with the DSE kit, and am running 17x11 Budniks with a 315/35/17 tire. If you want to run a 335 tire, you will need a 12" rim, but I didn't go with a 17x12 Budnik for a couple reasons. One, their 'stock' sizes are 17x11 and 17x13, so through DSE they would charge about double for a 'custom' 17x12 size. (I really don't understand this because I thought they custom made each rim to order anyway...) Second, a 335 tire is theoretically the largest you can run with the DSE minitub, and you need to be spot-on with your measurements on your rear/backspacing/rim sizes or risk rubbing. Plus rolling the fender lip is pretty much required with a 335 from what I've heard.
