Any regrets going to 315/35/17?

I have a set of 17x11 TT2's and Nitto 555 315's (non DR) sitting here...

Anyone wish they wouldn't have made the step up to 315's? ...Any downside short of spending some time getting them to fit properly?

FYI, my car is already on Stranos, adjustable PHB etc.

Only downside I've seen is you can feel the extra unsprung mass back there going from 17x9 (275/40).
Not that big of a deal, but you can feel it.
Also if you are keeping a more narrow tire up from the car will now be much more prone to understeer when cornering hard.

315s and up should be a requirement on a fourth gen 5 body.

Just got tt2s with 17x11 rears and 315 nittos. The car looks 10x meaner, especially looking at it from the back. 275s are just too small for the wide fenders on f bodies.
