Mine are 11" wide with the Nitto Nt555 in 315/35-17. The 555s are about an inch wider than the 555Rs.

I had the sumitomo 315's on these wheels and the wor like **** and didn't hook at all. Now I have the 275 dr's and it hooks alot better, but doesn't have the badass look. I would definately do it if I wasn't planing on buying a cam kit soon.

I will probably do it when my 275's wear down and my cam kit has been installed for awhile. My 275's don't hook to bad from a 25-30 roll wich is impressive, but off the line they spin spin forever lol

Sweet man, thanks for the pics. James over at weldcraft said it would be $215 a wheel for me so I think I will do it after the cam and when my 275's wear down.

10.5 is the way to go with 315's most go 11" but the 1/2" makes a ton of diff when fitting them. I used a 1/2" spacer that I had a jig made to center the spacer and had it welded to the inside of the wheel so they would be hub centered . I just rolled the fender lip and didn't have to touch the inside of wheel well or bump stops. no issues perfect fit
