Default American Torque Thrust 17x9.5

Can I run 315 on rear without modifications of rear wheel? Which tire can I run without it rubbing? Thank you

Going for looks more than anything else not a daily driver only bolt ons nothing special

That wheel is too small for a 315. Yes, it can and has been done but not recommended. Wheel offset and suspension are key factors in fitting the 315's. Stock height or lowered?

Stock height or lowered, I still wouldn't put that big of a tire on that small of a wheel. The biggest tire I'd put on a 9.5 would be 285/40.

We all want to get away with as "inexpensive" as possible. Cheap=dangerous. There are only so many corners you can cut. A failure of the tire, wheel, fender, etc is not worth the price.

At stock height you can get an 11" wheel with a 50mm offset and run a 315 without any other mods to the rear.*

*usually every car is a little different

Try out a 295/35/17.
I am as soon as my 285/40s give out.
