Fitting Wheels

[JRouche]

I`ve only bought 2 wheels so far, I`m trying to decide whether to run the same 17x9.5 with 275/40 on all 4 or to go to a 17x11 on the back and a 315/35.

Unfortunately American racing doesn't make a 10 or 10.5, next size up from 9.5 is 11. Looks like I have room for an 11 with 6.25 BS.

Perry, your reply seems to imply that I can run the 315 on the 9.5 wheel, tire makers all seem to say 10" minimum for the tire.

Hey Stu, I think you have it right. Id go with the 11" and 315s on the rear. If they fit that is gonna be one killer look.

And I did a tremendous ammount of research when I was in the market for wheels and tires. I had massive ammounts of room in the rear. And I wanted 315 tires. YES, you can mount some skinny sumitomo 315s on a a 9.5" wheel. And those tires would look stretched on a 11" wheel. But, you cant mount some regular sized 315s (GY, BFG) on a 9.5" wheel.

Alot of the mustang guys will use sumi's on 9.5" wheels and they look good. I dont think Ive ever seen a GY or BFG 315 on a 9.5" wheel. Why? Prolly cause they dont fit right.

Not all 315 tires are the same. JR

GYs and Sumi 315s YES!! They are both 315 tires. Want some steam rollers with a nice "small" side wall, the GYs are pretty nice.
