Default Need help with tire size for my rear.

I currently have 315/35-17 and thinking of going with a smaller tire maybe 305 or 295 (but mainly 305). I'm a noob when it comes to something like this. I believe my rear is 11.5 (correct me if I'm wrong though). Been trying to search the forums for this answer but can't find it. Please help, thank you!

I haven't heard of 11.5, its probably just 11 and 315 is pretty popular on an 11 inch wheel. Guys with the 10.5 usually run 295's and if I were you I would stick to 315 because they have that amazing wide look. I wouldn't go with anything smaller than a 305 though

You may be right bro, it might be 11. And yeah, I may just go with 305. But do you know where I can find 305/35-17 or 305/40-17? Do they even make that size?

Remember even if they do make the size, it could be a 'wierd' size, and tires will be expensive as hell, and not many offered.

You can get a 315/35-17 on a 17x11 or 17x10.5
Theres no reason to get a big rim, and not put a 315 out back IMO

If you want to know if its make: www.tirerack.com or www.discounttiredirect both have a massive listing of tires and are great resource for information
