I have the 275s on 9.5 konig wheels they look and work great. I would recommend 11" wheels for the 315s.

I wouldn't put 315/35's on a 9.5" wide wheel. You're better off with the 275/40's.

285/40ZR17 is the biggest tire you can install . . . .

they'll fit - but they'll bulge a little.

i've seen many people with them on a stock SS/WS6 rim which is 9" wide... so having an extra half inch should make it fit just that much better...

still will bulge a little though.
