Can you fit 315's on 2002 ws6 rims??
im lookin at buying 2002 ws6 17" rims, i really need all the tread i can get out back, can you fit 315 wide tires on the back w/ these rims?

You can fit a Nitto 315 on a 9" wheel. I'm not certain if it'll fit in the wheel well without any rubbing issues though. A Nitto 315 is much smaller than same a BFG 315 or basically any other 315. It's more like a 285.

I personally have a 2002 ws6 with nitto drag radials 315-35 17 were very tough to get on but did get on and looked very sick from the rear. On stock rims to by the way. until I had the flat tonight.

They will fit, but there's no point in doing it. You won't get the kind of surface patch that you need, which will only hurt you. Just get 275s- they will benefit you more!

SSG is right. Of course you can make the tire fit on the wheel, but as he said, you're not getting nearly all of the contact patch. Go with a 275. It will work as it is designed to, and it will be safer.

It will fit but in my opinion it looks kinda stupid, like a baloon for a back tire,I would get a BFG Dragradial in 275 it is wider than the nitto,"I have had both" the nitto 275 looks like a 255 for some reason and the 275 BFG fits like a 295.
