Default 315 nitto drags on 17x11's Any one got pics?

I just want to see what they look like. Our wheels have BFG'S now and I want to get the Nitto's. They look a little narrower then the BFG's. I can't believe how cheap the nittos are.

Is it just the camera angle or are the tires stretched on the wheel a bit?

Thanks for the pics

The nittos are much narrower, I personally don't like them at all.

BFG's are one of the widest 315s you can buy, and thats why I had them on those wheels. If I would have known that you didn't want the BFGs, I would have taken a little $ off and kept them

Have you mounted the wheels on your car yet? Those 11s are going to make your car look agressive

Heres some picsof my car with TT2s/315 Nittos... Its kind of hard to tell the width. But the bfgs were pretty much flush with the side of the fender, unlike the nittos.

Not yet. Gonna roll the lips tomorrow. I spent 4 1/2 hours polishing the wheels the other night. They look like new. Thanks for the good deal. We will proly stick with the BFG'S.

Check out the Toyo Proxes TQ DR's. Best DD DR out there in my opinion. You can pick them up in the same tire size for $155 a piece. Hook a lot better than Nitto's in my opinion.

How does the width look on the toyo's compared to the others? Nittos looked streched on 17x11 and BFG'S look flush on the side walls.

The Toyo's are pretty wide for a 315. They are very flush. Search, "Toyo Proxes TQ," and you will see a few reviews if you get serious about these tires.

Here is my review, https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...tq-review.html

^ I do see what u r talking about BUT wake up ppl! 315 nittos are NOT wide. they run very narrow. you can mount them on a 9.5 (although not recommended) and they will look normal/not buldge out.

We went with the Toyos. They hook way better then the BFG'S did and are wider then the Nittos. $158.00 each tire plus $10.00 for shipping.

O crap they went up a whole $2.00 from when I bought ours LOL. Here is the link for you. I actually went to Discount Tire and showed them the add and they matched the price.
