Nitto 315's With all the searching there is still no clear cut answer so post any experiences. Will the Nitto 315's fit on a 17 x 10 wheel since I hear Nitto's sizes are actually smaller than other tires? If not will the Nitto 275's fit funny on the 17 x 10 rim? If it looks too small for the rim there's no point in getting the 555R's. Thanks!

If anyone has pics of their Nittos that would be great to help me decide if they look ok. Please state which size they are too so I know which ones I'm looking at. Thnx!

are the 315's that much better in handling given 275 tires up top? or even 245-50-16's?
How does the staggered 275/315 affect the cars handling?
it seems like the wider tires in back might alter the geometry of handling kinda like swaybars? yes no maybe?

Yes, you can put 315's onto a 10" wide wheel. Someone has put them on a 9.5" wide wheel just fine, looked kinda funny though. I think you will need to adjust the pressure in your tires since the sidewalls will bulge a little bit. What that pressure is I'm not sure. Nitto's are indeed slighly smaller widthwise than other tires due to differing measuring techniques.
A 315 drag radial will not provide that much added traction over a 275 drag radial. It's mostly for looks.

I WILL REPEAT MYSELF!
Nitto says 10.5" minimum wheel width . . . direct from their website
I don't give a crap "what people have done . . " it is still wrong, still against manufacturer recommendations, and bottom line - DANGEROUS!
