Default Rear Tire Opinions

I'm on the preorder list with Tomz on a set of TT2's with 17x11's out back and the tire I want, the Nitto 555r, is out of stock for 6-8 weeks. I'm in the minority here, but I'm not a fan of the overly wide tires that stick past the quarter panels. So I'm asking, what is an option for a narrow 315 or smaller tire that may fit a little more flush? Thanks!

How much power do you have??
if you dont need traction much get Sumitomo from TomZ great price and they are not huge.
or maybe BFG.

I have some pics if you want.

I have bfgs but they are really wide. Maybe go with a 285/35/17 but I dont think thye will look right on a 11" rim. Xsta will hopefully chime in and tell ya for sure
