Pretty Disappointed in the look of 315/35 Nittos..... Just installed some 315's on my 17x11 ZR1's and i'm pretty disappointed to see they don't look much wider than the front tires at all. I know Nitto is usually a narrow brand, but damn I am real disappointed. From behind, doesn't even look like I have 11's out back...
Oh well, they hook like a MF'er

my 275 look wide to me on a 8" rim.

I agree, the 315 nittos do appear on the narrow side compared to other 315s. My 315 BFG G Force KDs look way "meatier" than my 315 Nitto DRs (the BFGs don't hook nearly as well as the Nittos though 
). The Nittos also don't shine up as well with tire glaze - kinda grey rather than shiny black, if that means anything to anybody.

edit my original response. I was thinking sidewall. My sidewall was very stretched looking and low profile. I did not like that look. As far as width, they are wide as hell!

get the tire a lil damp and run over a piece of paper when the Nittos are aired around 20-22psi. Get another 315 and do the same. Measure the actual footprint and youll be suprised. The Nittos run a bit small...but not nearly what youd think. After you measure edge to edge on the paper...look at how much true contact patch is actually there.
