315's arent ganna fit a stock rim

275/40 are ganna hook better then 315/35 because there is more side wall and thats what helps you hook up but on the street 315 might hook better

No, the Nitto 315s fit stock wheels perfectly. The MT or other 315s might not. And the 275s don't have anymore sidewall then the 315s, despite the 35 and 40 ratings. You have to remember, that the height rating is proportional to the width of the tire, so the 315/35's and the 275/40s actually have the same amount of sidewall, one is just wider.

The 275 MTs will outhook the hell out of the 315 Nittos simply because of the different compounds. Ive tried both and this is what I found on my 420rwhp M6.

The only thing to consider is: how long do you want them to last?

MT>Nitto for traction. Nitto > MT for longevity. My MTs lasted like 3k miles, and the Nittos consistently get about 10k miles

mt's will deff hook better but wont last 5k on the street, if i was you i would stick to the 315 nitto;s and as will said they fit, a little tear drop not bad but they do fit.

if i recall correctly. ws6 rims run 9.5 wide so 315s nitos are fine.


what do stock zr1s run wide wise on a 99 ss?

9 or 9.5

9.5...

02NBMWS6

They're actually 9" on both the SS and WS6 wheels.

iTrader: (14)

hmmm, i could have sworn that my old ss wheels are 9.5

02NBMWS6

iTrader: (22)

Nope, only 9" I hear alot of people always saying that they're 9.5 though

02NBMWS6

iTrader: (22)

Why do you say that? They hooked a hell of a lot better than the radials did on both of my cars

02NBMWS6

iTrader: (22)

Nice, the ET Streets you'll just have to throw it when it's time to throw down

I have the 275 BFG DR's and tell you what. Im not impressed much with them at all at the moment. Its still chilly here, but as of now with heads/cam I can roll em in first and pretty decent in second. They are a hell of alot better then a standard radial, which I could roll all the way through third, but man, I kind of expected abit more from them. I guess we will see how they hook up once it warms up abit.

According to my program at work (tire shop), the SS wheels are 17x9.5 and the ws6 wheels are 17x9... well, i could have sworn that's what i saw. Anyhow, a nitto 315 does run smaller than other 315's, so they MIGHT fit. If you want to hook up, go with the 275 m/t, if you want looks, get the nitto 315's... if you want the looks and the hooks, get 315 m/t or 315 bfg's.
