Default Nitto 555R width vs Toyo TQ width, need your pics

I've searched and I can't find exactly what I wanted.

We all know the 17'' 555Rs run narrow. This why I chose a 315 on my 17x9.5 WS6 5spoke as opposed to the 275 555R which is smaller and look stretched compared to my front 275 Summitomo. Put a 315 555R on a 17x11 and they too look stretched compared to Mickey Thompson or BFG.

What I want to know from the guys that have bought a 275/40/17 or 315/35/17 Toyo TQ is how wide they run and how they looked when you mounted them on your width wheel. Pics are a big plus here.

I don't want to hear about how unsafe mounting too big of a tire is, there are plenty of other threads about that. I'm just looking to see if I should stick to my 315 555R or try out a 275 Toyo TQ for the better foot print.

I'll start. 17X9.5 WS6 wheel with a 315/35/17 Nitto 555R

305 555r on a 10.5" wheel. fits perfect. I plan on upgrading to 315's though.

Yeah that's what I really hate about my tire combo is the fronts look just a tad bit wider than the rears (555's up front 555R's rear 275/40/17 all around on stock wheels) Mostly because the zr's look like they sag a bit and the dr's look like they have a stiff sidewall, should be the other way around but idk

Yeah, I wouldn't put a 315 Toyo TQ on a stock WS6 wheel. It has a little bulge on my 10.5" rear wheels.

Here's my 315/35/18 on a 10.5" wheel.

That looks good man.

I found the specs online. Disregard the 315mm measurement and find the real tire measurement specs. The 315 Toyo runs much wider than the 315 Nitto.

Do a little research and you'll see what I mean.

No one has taken a picture of their 275/40/17 or 315/35/17 Toyo TQ on a 17" wheel?

They aren't very popular, keep bumping thread and someone will see it eventually.

so that's the size and exact tire you put on your WS6 wheel looks good and no fitment issue at all?
