do these nitto 555R tires fit my stock WS6 wheels? dont know much about sizing.
Will these tires fit my stock 2002 WS6 wheels:
Nitto 555 drag radials 315/35R-17 102V ????
My stock tires are 275/40r17 is this the only size that I am limited to choose from for those wheels? or can I go larger?

Re: do these nitto 555R tires fit my stock WS6 wheels? Your stock wheels are 9" wide. Normally the max I would go is a 285, a 295 can be done on a 9" wheel also. I have seen 315s fit on stock wheels but I would not recommmend it. Also you will probably run into fender/wheel well rubbing. The width of the tire is much bigger then the width of the rim which causes the tire to "bulge". A 10 or 11" wheel would be much better suited, but to answer your question, yes it can be done. I would just go with the 275/40/17s, they will do you fine, and will fit inside the fender well with ease.

Re: do these nitto 555R tires fit my stock WS6 wheels? Thanks for the awesome response. Very well said. It makes sense. As far as tire rubbing a person on the forum says it shouldnt happen as he has the same sized tire on the stock 9" rim with his car lowered and he doesnt see that problem.
I dont know about the tire bulging but it does sound scary. lol.
Anyone tried this with the stock wheels?

Re: do these nitto 555R tires fit my stock WS6 wheels? Your welcome 
As for the above, some people have problems, others don't. Seems hard to believe that he fit a 315 tire on a 9" wheel, and had no rubbing issues with a lowered car. 
But ok, I still say go with the 275/40/17s. The 315s will bulge on the stock wheels, the 275 will look better, and you won't lose much if any traction.
Good luck,
Rob

Re: do these nitto 555R tires fit my stock WS6 wheels? I have the 315's and no problems.... I was told that they would "sway" but I haven't noticed ANY. I do think they bulge a little much for my taste. I don't like the 17x11's with the 315's but I do beleive a 17x10 or 17x10.5 would look better.

Re: do these nitto 555R tires fit my stock WS6 wheels? sorry for the late response.
"BAD *** TA WS6" and "The Guy in MY 99TA" thanks again.
I guess if Ill have to stick with 275s with the stock rims ...
its sucks because the 315s look so much better because of how wider they look
They look that good:

but ofcourse he has them on 17X9 wheels in the front and 17X11s in the back.
wait a minute. Little confused here.
"The Guy in MY 99TA" why dont you like the 17x11s with the 315s? (scratching head)
Just curious, if I were to go 315s how wide should my rim size be to be ok?
Again sorry for the late reply.
