there is a lot of people using 17/9.5 with 275/40/17 on the front with no probs at all but the rear could give you trouble if you lowered with out an APB when using 315/35/17 on 17/11 the axle could be out of center
if you decide to go with 18s IMHO id go with 18/9.5 with 275/35/18 all the way around they fill the wells and look killer on lowered cars.
and when time comes you can still rotate them <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

No way can I fit 17x11 with 315's but when i said max traction I should have said 570hp twin turbo and NOS car made for autox but need to be able to hook for street. car has every bmr part made. but i quess not the best power setup. i can't even use nos when autox raceing. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
