They are 17X10.5's with +44 offset, they bolted right up perfectly, I didn't have to touch a thing.

I used to work for Goodyear, so I got a discount on them, and to be honest I don't think theres a better performance street tire available.

I really like the GSD3's also but I think next time I'm going with KD's. The sidewalls on the GSD3's flex too much and the car feels sightly sloppy. Kinda takes away from all the other mods I have done. Plus, they're kinda noisey. Anyone else experience this with their GSD3's?

The tires are unbelievable in the rain, although I hardly ever drive the car in the rain.

Well I had KDW's on the car before the GSD3's, all 275's and the car handled great. Now I have GSD3's with 315's in the back. Car looks better withthe 315's and the rear is more planted when it needs to be but in general the car doesn't feel as tight. Sorry for the hijack...

would a 10.5 rim look better in the rear , so it dont stick out of the wheel whell as much,
i want 315 drag radials out in the rear, but dont like the way the 11, wheel sticks out so much.
can a 10-10.5 " wheel hold a 315 drag radial, as well.

I am thinking about the Fikse 17" mags.
Please help me out
thank you

the size of the rim wont change how far the tire sticks out.. my tire is less than a pinky width from the inner wheel well.. cant get any closer.. this is just what you get when you tuck a 315.

how many of you are using BFH on inner well, and rolling the lip to get the 315 in?
I just bought 18x10.5 C6 rims with 56mm offset. Hoping to get them in, but thought I'd need a 295 to get the job done.

Hey TIGHTSS, I am having trouble with the 315 bfg DRs tring to put it on my TA, but it rubbs against the fenders. You need a 49mm offset or better for it to fit undert he well with no rubbing and tucking. Im thinking about spacers, any comments on spacers?
let me know thanks

You guys have me stoked! I agreed to buy a set of ZR-1's from another guy on the board, 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear and should get them this weekend. I'll have to wait a bit to get them on the car (saving up for tires), but I'm really looking forward to it.
