I think the tittle mentioned it all.

I going to have 17x10.5 Fr500's with Nitto 555r 315/35/17 and i wanted the Beefy look with the tires matching the fender/maybe alilttle more. What do you guys suggest?

1"? or 1/2? or 3/8's?

Im going for this kind of look.

I'll make a few comments...

First, if you're looking for that "steamroller" look out back, Nittos may not be the best choice. I say this because Nittos are the most narrow 315 tire out there. See the chart and pictures below...

Nitto 315 vs BFG 315...

Secondly, if you do go with Nittos, you don't need any wheel spacers. However, if you want the wheels to be pushed out a little, the 3/8" spacers from LFP are the way to go. Nothing wrong with 1/2" spacers, but you'll definitely need longer wheel studs with them. As for 1" spacers...most people think that makes 10.5" wheels stick out too far.

i haven 315 gsd3s and i went with MM 1/2 inch spacers but also moroso studs. rolled the fenders and now no run and looks sweet. with nittos, you'll probably only need 3/8 lfp spacers wiht ET lugs they supply and maybe a little shaving of the irs bolt.

How much do BFG'S usually go for? cause if i need the new tires then id want to save up some money, go 18's and do it like that. How much would 315/35/18's? be? and how much for the 19's?

I run a 315 Nitto on a 10.5 wheel, with 3/8 inch spacers and no shaving of the the IRS bolt, It looks great I think!
