Default 315/35zr17 Toyo's.....Brand new

Here are some pics of a set I just mounted on my SS wheels

I bought too many of them because they were a pretty decent deal, so I have another set for sale. The other set has never been mounted on anything, they are literally brand new. $150 each plus shipping and they are yours......I would atleast like to sell them in pairs, but I dont mind selling 2 at a time. Here are some pics.....

I have 11 inch wide rims with my 315s. That is the size that is recommended.If you go wider then an 11 inch rim the tire sidewall will look like its sucked in.

Not recommended, but please don't start that discussion here....too many threads have been closed due to retarded arguements over whether or not to put a 315 on a 9 inch wheel......They work fine on my car, they do buldge and they are not recommended......That is all I will say about that so hopefully this thread will remain open.

They have a 180 treadwear which means Toyo says they should last about 18k miles and that also means they are pretty sticky. They hook pretty well on my car.

Offset is the relation of the mounting surface to the center of the wheel (front to back) a +56mm offset on a 18x10.5 Z06 wheel (example) means that if you go to the direct center (5.25 inches) that would be a 0offset.......+56mm is when the mounting surface is 56mm closer to the face of the wheel....making a little more than half the wheel towards the inside of the car.


My wheels are factory 2001 10 Spoke SS wheels. 17x9 and I'm not sure the offset on them. IMO (Keep in mind moderators, this is just MY opinion) the 315 is a great fit......It does bulge a little too much to be considered "right" by the manufacturer, but I like them.


Nobody wants a set of 315's?? Somebody PM me with an offer for a pair or the set

I believe there is a 285/40r17


Also, different brands are different widths.....Usually the cheaper tires run narrower than the more expensive ones. Goodyear Eagle GSD3's run really wide
