Looks real good. Tested the traction on the street at all?

Lookin' good............

How are these supposed to be in the rain? How are they supposed to be for highway driving, the side wall i mean, are they solid on the highyway? Look nice, and compliment the Nittos which is nice, so you could rn Nitto up front and the M/T out back.

Dude you car is just sick. :drive:

loving the new car man.

thanks guys.

car drives real nice with these tires. i think it corners nicely considering the softer sidewall. no weird road noise etc. i think m/t took their time and built a really nice tire.

What about traction in 1st or 2nd gear?

i have the turbo off the car and just a custom turbo delete pipe joining the exhaust together... plenty of traction when you just got 300hp

man those wheels look awesome on your car

what whys the turbo off?

^^^Ya why is the turbo off??

cuz i lunched it running it w/out oil ( i forgot one thing during the entire rebuild).. its getting repaired now.

i figured instead of letting the car sit i would make this little skip-pipe and get the shift points where i want them with the 4l80

I need a set of these. LOL at the 300 hp/traction remark.

WOW that looks amazing.

They look like they fit great on that 10" wheel. I wonder how they would look on my GM ZR1's? :secret2:

PHAT and FAT lol :jest:

Looks good dave....

what rims are those?
car looks amazing

thanks so much.

the rims are iForged Seneka 17" which they don't offer on their website for some reason.

Pretty much all iForged wheels can be had in a 17" wheel.... you just have to call and ask for it......

They should be listed on the website. They are 2 piece 17" reverse lip wheels.

I don't believe they offer 3 piece 17" wheels...

Mine are due in thursday, I was worried about the 9.5 wheel, but after seeing yours not so much! :D

i would like to know what retail is on my wheels if anyone can find out [/off topic]

I know what i can get a set for as a repeat customer......

Sent ya a PM Dave.

Could I fit those same tires on a 17x9.5 zo6 wheel

you need the 275/40/17"s MT Drag Radials for the 9.5 rims, I believe with the soft side walls on theses tires it might be dangerous

doesn't anybody read the stickies? 315's will not fit on a 9.5" wheel safely

doesn't anybody read the stickies? 315's will not fit on a 9.5" wheel

HA, dont tell me they wont fit. I ran nitto's, bfg's and thursday I will be running the M/T 315's on a 9.5 inch rim. Ill post the pics up thursday night of the new M/T 315's on a 9.5.

and the thread/post will be deleted.......
Just because you can stuff it on there doesnt mean it will work and is safe.. :eyes:
Theres a reason there not sapposed to be on a 9.5" wide rim.

and the thread/post will be deleted.......

will M/T ever make a tire for a 18" wheel?

did you not see tire chart of new sizes?

i love you....made my day.....how would those compare to a nitto or BFG?

and where do i order

:lol:


THats fine..... ill just laugh at you when the tire blows off the bead and you post up about wrecking your car...... :jest: :jest: :jest:

I was just watching the convo, but I have to get in on it LOL. That's some funny (and true) stuff.

The new treads look great on your car. Mine just arrived today and I am stoked. It will be a few days before I can get them mounted. Your rims are 10" wide and I have 11's, did you roll your fenders? I have read a ton of posts about guys rolling their fenders to make 315's fit. My Sumitomo's fit fine without being rolled but these monsters are definitely wider.

Thanks,

the fenders were all ready rolled to clear my other m/t's... the 325/50's

Dosent get any sexier than that.

I ran probably made 50 passes between the BFG's and Nittos together and didnt blow the tire off the bead. :eyes:

I wasnt laughing at the safety issue, I was laughing about your "see what happens if you post it" comment. Its forbidden if someone post a picture of some thing you say isnt good. :jest:

Back on topic, did M/T say they was going to make the side wall softer? That would be sweet. Also wont the higher tread wear affect traction? I sure hope they do last longer than the 7k I got out of the others.

Its not what I say... its what the owners of ths baord have posted up as a guidline and ""Sticky's"" for people to read and be safe.....
Its also following what the makers of the product have written for saftey precations......

Im not saying it CANT be done..... im just saying its not safe and i HAVE seen what can happen when ya dont follow guidlines......

nitto's 315's with work on a 9.5 wheel because they are about a inch skinnier then M/Tand other tires! :) Nitto's run skinny! Here are some pics of 315's on 17x9.5 wheel with no problems
http://fad2blk.smugmug.com/photos/63062236-M.jpg


I wouldn't buy 315's and put it on a 9.5 wheel but this guy did and had no problems at all! With the nitto's being skinny you can get away with it!

When I bought my car the previous owner had 315 Nittos on the stock 17x9 ZR1 rims. Looked prety nice, but when they wore out I replaced them with some 275's.

When did M/T come out with the 315 17"?

doesn't anybody read the stickies? 315's will not fit on a 9.5" wheel

BS, ive ran 315/40/17 nittos on 9" stock WS6 wheels with no problems, 3 sets actually

i ran these tires little hard tonight, got the turbo back on the car, about 12# boost they seem to do very nicely.

No one said it CANT be done... it was just stated it isnt safe and people have crashed because of it.... You may not have with your last set/ sets of tires..... but someone has.....

Bad ass David....... so that means the car will be able to make it down here on the 5th of May?????

No....a nitto 315 measures fine to fit *SAFELY* on a 9.5" wheel.


Now granted this is because the nitto measures about an 1" narrower than m/t's etc of the same size

ooooohhhh that lookssssss nice!

then why is it that nitto recommends no smaller than a 10.5 wheel? because you can't do it safely.

See my 315 Nittos look stretched to fit on my 11" wheel compared to that. There is no sidewall bulge at all. I seriously think the 555R is better suited for a 10" wheel.

That just looks a ton better. I can't wait to get a REAL 315 tire on here.

fyi on saturday i ran a 9.55 on these tires. I am pleased with them :D

Hey MightyMouse!
Beautiful black car, awsome wheels and tires! Nice track times too!:hail:

take a side by side comparison of the nitto 315's and the m/t 315's...

you'll think twice about mounting them to a 9.5" rim.

there's a pretty big difference in the width... FWIW

what is roll out on those new M/T and do u know how tall they are because there site said it could change when they finally come out. I have used M/T in 275x17 but are way to short and look stupid on a C5 vette. Looking for about 26 true inch tire.

i havent measured them, should be around 25.7"
