Hey guys,

I'm looking for a new tire choice something bigger than my 275 I have on there now. I was told that I could fit a 315 on my 17x10 rim?? The rims I have on there now are the 10 anniversary rims that are flat black and my rears are deep dish rims. Any help will be much appreciated.

17x10 or 10.5 most aftermarket 17's are 10.5 wide

and I have 315 Toyo R888's on mine and they fit fine with a 3/8 spacer, low profile bolts and rolled fenders for good measure

This, I don't know that I've seen a 17x10. If it's a 17x10.5 then a 315 will definitely fit on that rim fine. If it's a 17x10, then I think a 305 will fit ok, as a 305 fits fine on an 18x10 wheel.

I've got 17x10 wheels with a Nitto555 285 tire and it fits perfect. The 555 runs wide as opposed to the 555R which runs thin. They're about as wide as my old Sumitomo 315's(maybe even wider)

Let me know if you want some pics.

315's will be fine on a 17x10, which the flat black 10th's were only available in a 10" width to my knowledge. Some people go as big as a 335 on a 10" rim, but that will start a huge debate.

Go with a 315/35/17 trust me you'll love it and never think twice about it!

I have run 10 anniversary wheels with 17x 10.5 on the back with 315 and 17x9s on the front with 275s the car is lowered about 2 inches, you will only have one possible problem and that is on full lock (with a larger front sway bar) you may hit the bar on the front.
FWIW, I ran 18s on it with the same tire combo (in 18 inch of course) and have had no problem either.
AND.. I've run the saleen 18s with 315 and 275 with no problem so I say go for it

I would love some pics please and thank you. My rims are most definitely 17x10 in the rear and the tires I have on there now a bf g force comp 2s and the look to small for the rim . I was trying to look for some 305 sized tires on the internet and couldn't find any??

I did however find these.
Mickey Thompson 3745R Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Drag Tires

Would these fit my rims and look good at the same time?? I don't want them bulging over my rim a lot a little is fine.

If you guys could post some places were I can find a 305 sized tire please post them on here. Oo and my cobra is pretty low as you probably can see. Thanks all.
