You don't have to have 11's in the back to fit 315s. I'm on a 17x9.5 and fitting 315's. I love it too.

Best rear shot I have right now.

From the side:

It is possible because you can clearly see he did it in the pics. The sidewall looks really bad though bulging out like that

Yea, I've never had any problems with them and I've taken it to the track and on the highway at pretty much every speed. Thanks Man. Sorry to Avenged for .

I know this sounds like something someone who doesn't have 11's would say, but I actually like the tires sticking out. I think it looks better than just a flush wall/rim. 11's look good, but as long as this works, I'm sticking with the 9.5s.
