Default New OE 17x11 ZR1 Deep dish Chrome, NITTO NT555 315/35/ZR17

I just got the tires mounted on the rims today. I stuck them on my 10 bolt for the fun of it and it looks pretty funny....pour little 10 bolt my not make it with these bad boys on there. The rims are very nice, as well are the tires, I think I am going to be very happy. I am keeping the front wheels stock.

My car is on stands right now waiting on headers, ORY, GMMG, subframe connectors...oh and obviously the rear end...

No just some brush on Rustoleum primer, and satin black from Lowes. Tractor supply sells some oil base paint hardener, that will really make it tough. Works really good. I may recoat it with some hardener mixed in. I have had bad experience's with Por-15 not sticking.

Por-15 flaked on me on my old 10 bolt. I was surprised. It might have held up better if I had done a full prep. I think what you did looks pretty good.

I have those exact same tires, love them. For some reason, the Nitto 315's look more narrow than other 315's.

Got them on the car last night, I have to finish my exhuast, tips or just stuck on and need to be tacked. It is on the suspension in this picture, the car will settle down some more after I drive it.

Your 10 bolt will be fine with the normal 555s lol.

Mine still spin a bit from a 20 roll in a bolt on auto, stock stalled, 3.23 car.

I think they're wider than my old 315 sumitomos.

Looks great man, I have a 99 trans am, will the 17x11's fit the rear with 335's or did you have to do any cutting? My car has stock suspension.

They are on the bump stops with ther rear hanging, but with it sitting on the the ground and on the suspension they do not hit.
