315's on a 12"???
 
I was wondering if a set of 315 Nitto Invo's will fit on a 12" rim. Looking for something to go on my C6Z wheels. Any help is greatly appreciated.

why would you want to put 315's on a 12" rim?

96juicedgt Mar 10, 2011 11:00 AM

Not that I am wanting to I just found some at a great price and was wondering if they will fit. I know they came with 325's so I was just curious.

They'll fit. You may have a slight stretch depending on which brand of tire you buy.

Am thinking of picking up the Nitto Invo's....I know in the past Nitto tires run a bit smaller than others of the same size. Unsure if this is still the case now or not though.

It really only seems to be the 315/35/17 555R that runs noticeably narrow. My 275's look fine.

Agreed, my regular 315 NT555's picked me up about an inch of width over the junk Sumitomos I had taken off. So I'd say the 555R's only run narrow.

Yeah the 315 is all I have ever had....That is good to know.

The 555Rs are about an inch narrower that the 555s are too. I have pics of them side by side. I actually had to bfh the inner fenders for the 555s but not the Rs.

I think the 315 will look too small

315 Mickey Thompson on a 12'' wheel. It's not obvious unless your looking for it

Man those look good on the back of your camaro:D

I'm on my BB so I can't quote, but in response to NVR_SPDS post:

I had done the BFH mod to help some tight areas with the sumitomos, with the NT555's I had to get the hammer back out and do a considerable amount of more work to get them to clear. I'd never been so happy to take a hammer to the car. Haha

I would personally run something a bit bigger.

[Firehawk]-[#530] Mar 19, 2011 12:47 AM

is that mini tubbed?

6spdchevy Mar 19, 2011 01:20 AM

that looks fine to me but thats me

SmokedOutZ28 Mar 19, 2011 08:13 AM

No the car is not mini tubbed.

Camaro396- I agree but I plan to switch to a 18'' wheel that will have a wider tire.

marvinseah Mar 19, 2011 12:15 PM

NVR_SPDS please post pics of the comparison between the NT555R and the NT555. I'd like to see the difference in width. Thanks!

NVR_SPDS Mar 31, 2011 08:10 PM

Sorry for the late reply, just saw this.

Heres some pics. First pic is the 555. Second, the R is on the right. Its mounted, but both are sitting flat on the floor. 3rd is compared to a Michelin 275/40-18:

Thanks for the pics. They were very helpful in helping me decide which tires to buy.
