man more and more people are getting the wheels I have. I didn't see many cars at all with the 505s when I got mine around 2 years ago.

I've been searching like crazy for a 17x11 mesh-style wheel. It seems like every company only makes 17x9's, or 18x9.5's. It's really annoying.

exactly. And then alot of them are not in the right bolt pattern. I've been looking at BMW crowd wheels w/ 5x120.

Mine will have the 285. You can fit 295, I'm pretty sure; some plp manage to fit 315 on stock 9.5. Hope my 285 are not going to look funny cause its too wide...

315's will not fit safely on a 9.5" wheel. Don't get this thread locked.

A 295 will fit fine but IMO will not look as good as a 275 tire.

They will "balloon" just a tad bit compared to the 275s.. 275s fit these rims PERFECT..
The 295s may not look bad at all, I don't know.. I just HATE when a tire balloons over a rim (315 on a 9.5 or something similar).. I think that looks like compete ****.
