Default Toyo tire fitment

Hey guys I had a question bout tire fitment. I really like the looks of the toyo proxes 345/40/17, but I just am wanting to know what I need to do to make them fit? I will be installing a new motor with about 420-450 rwhp and then a 150 of nitrous. I might not need a tire that big but I like the stance it gives. So what would I have to do to make it work? I have a 17x11 zr1 wheel...if I should just stick with a 315 what other tire would u recommend? I had nt05rs they weren't bad, I have some yokahoma slicks and I haven't had the chance to test them since its been raining. Thanks for the input

That tire will not fit well at all on a 11 inch rim. I had 315/35/17 Toyo dr's on a 10.5 inch rim on my Mustang and it bulged out pretty good on that

The TQ's lasted almost as long as my Nitto 555R's, handled pretty much the same in normal and wet conditions, but were definitely a bit stickier. Personally I loved them!

Ive had some of the toyo tq's for about a year now, for a DD drag radial they kick ***. Great in rain, cheap, and hook pretty good on the street. I have prolly 8-10k miles on mine and they have a ton of tread left. I wouldnt put them in the same catagory as an MT or Hoosier dr as far as hooking at the track though.

I have the Tokyo proxes 315/35/18 and they look good. They don't bulge much on my C5Z 10.5" wheels. Haven't driven on them but to touch, they're very sticky.
