IMO the narrow 315 bulging slightly on the wheel looks better then the stretched look of 275 on a 17x9" or the 315 on an 17x11". Especially if you're running a 275 street tire in the front and the front 275's look wider than your rears 275s.
The left tires is a BFG 275/40/17.. And the right tire is a Nitto 555R 315/35/17
You can clearly see that the Nittos are narrower than advertised.
Here is a 315 555R compared to a 275 MT.
You can see here a BFG next to a Nitto. Both 315 drag radials on the same 17x11 ZR1 wheel but the Nitto seems almost stretched.
A 315 on a narrow wheel only works with the 555Rs as they run narrower than advertised. I wouldn't put any other 315 on anything less than a 10.5" wheel.

Damn thanks man. You just made me feel so much better about buying these. They are not much bigger than a different brand 275. That's funny people say it's outragous to put these on a 9.5" wheel when they are just slightly bigger than a 275 bfg. And about the same size as a 275 m/t

The NT05R will be stickier. Life is also lower and they are less rain friendly. The NT05Rs do not come in a 285 either. This isn't a discussion about what tire is stickier. It's about how narrow 555Rs run.
Yes. The NT555 is wider than a 555R. Just take a look on company websites. Compare overall width and tread width between manufactures. On paper they don't seem too far off listed as 275 or 315 but once they're next to each other or mounted up the difference is there.

I got my Nitto 275's and 315's in. I got the NT555 ZR's, not the drag radials. Here are some comparison pics if anyone still needs them.

My experience is not with the 315 but with 275. Figured I would add anyway. I use to run nitto 555 and I currently have the htrz on stock speed lines and the htrz is narrower than the 555 from what I can remember. It's been a while since I have had the 555 though so I could be wrong. These htrz I have on now are super narrow to me though.
