Default Ordered new wheels what tires?

Just orderd new FM5's and got 17x11 rears. What tires? Should I need DR's or should standard 315's do the traction trick?

I would just go wit h16s, they have more sidewall flex. Also, while yo uare at it, give your wheels to me, haha!!! JK. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Well, if money is not a matter, which I am assuming it is not since you bought FM 5s, lol, then get the BFG KDs. They are great tires.

To be honest, i would go with a 315/35 Nitto DR in the back, and a 275/40 Nitto 555 up front. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I was thinking of the nittos, but with the standard 555 in 315. I may not need DR's the car is fast but not to hard off the line with the sy3500.
Thanks
