Default What are you running on your 17x9.5 ?

Just curious what some of you might be running on your rear 17x9.5 rims. I really want a low pro type of tire and wider as well, but dont want it to be a hazard. I know some of you are running 315's but how safe is that? Also can you run 315/35/17 on this type of rim? I need to replace my rear tires (my fronts as well) real soon, so I need to hurry and get an idea of what to get. Thanks.

I'm running 275/40/17 Fuzion ZRi's right now on my 17x9.5'' ZR1s. They're good for now, but my car is getting stalled soon and it might blow them off.

275/40ZR17 or at the most 285/40ZR17.

A 315 is recommended for a 10" or larger wheel.
