Default 10.5" rims with 315's...

I'm looking to run a 17 x 10.5" rim on the rear with a 315 nitto DR on a car lowered 1". I know with a 11" rim you usually have to massage the fenders etc. to get it to fit without rubbing. But how much easier would the 10.5" fit, if any. Thanks in advance.

Is the rubbing problem only with lowered cars? I have seen a ton of cars with 315's out back and they all seem to fit well.

yea lowered only because the fender is too close the outer part of the tire..

depends on where the .5" is takin out off. its off the inside of the wheel your not gonna fix anything.. but if you get it so its basically off the outside. like change offset... then your golden.

i would imagine.

My 17x10.5's with a 45mm offset and my 315's fit perfectly. My car is also lowered.

Are those Sumitomos? They run a little smaller than Goodyears and some others. So do the Nittos, you should be okay.

Yeah i got the TTMs but i want to run a nitto DR out back. I dont know if the rim will stick out past the tire. If i run a different tire like a goodrich it migh rub. anyone know how much wider a bfg is and if it will rub?
