Default ***HELP PLZ what size tire for a 17x10.5 rim?***

285s are not an option because i have 315 35 17s on the rear and the sidewall of the 285s would be too tall. 275s which i have mounted on them now are not looking very good. the tire is really streched. which manufacturers run wide? mabie i can just get a different brand of 275 40 17?

why not run another 315? people have done it on all four corners..think you need to be very exact bout backspacing though

gs d3s run wide.. 295 is almost perfect but i dont know if you can find one for a 17 thatll fit.. you might be stuck with 315s, not that its a bad thing.. i believe if you go to tire rack you can find the width of any tire.. for example http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...Eagle+F1+GS-D3
that states the width of all gsd3s.. but IMHO, go with 315 if you have a suitable back spacing and offset
