315's on 17x10's? Anyone have pics or comments of this setup in the rear? Just wondering if it will look as aggressive as the 315/17x11 setup...thnks in advance!

I think you are going to need a bare minimum of 10.5" wide to fit a 315 on a 17" rim. Even though you can fit them on 9.5" wheels, it is unsafe and you do not get any bigger of a contact patch than 275s because of the extra bulge.

Also, the *** end wobbles a lot when running lower pressure at the track, feels very unsafe. My friend had 315's on his GM ZR1 style wheels, not sure if they are 9" or 9.5".
