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.

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.

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'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

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.

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