Default 315 Nittos

because nittos are narrower than a lot of tires would it be alright to fit 315s on a 9.5 inch rim
i wish they made 295 nt555's

i already read the stickies and i would not do it would any other tire but nittos because they are much narrower

does any one have the exact measurement of 315 nittos nt555's

315 millimeters across from the widest point of its outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when mounted and measured on a specified width wheel.

315mm is 12.4 inches.

why would 315mm on one tire brand be different than 315mm on another tire brand.

i know that but trust me there is a difference in the brand name on how wide they are sumitomos are some of the narrowest tires ive ever seen. comparing 315 sumitomos and 315 goodyears they are almost and inch and a half narrower there is a pic on this site somewhere

This should answer your question:

315/35-17 Nitto NT555 NON DR

315/35 Non DR on the Left, not mounted. 315/35 Nitto DR on right, mounted on 11" wheel

Non DR Mounted on 11" wheel- Left. 275/40-18 Mounted on 18x9


315/35s mounted on stock wheels... They may be 11" wide, but their stock LOL:

that helps alot now if i can only get a pic like those with a 285/40/17 nitto nt555
do you think that the nitto nt555 non dr are consistent with normal sizes or are they narrow like the 555r

If im not mistaken, they are pretty consistant. Our other car had that combo on it (275/40 front, and 285/40 rears) for quite a while. the 285s bulge slightly more on a 9" wheel than the 275, but they fit really nice on 9.5s. Sorry i dont have measurements, but theyll look good.
