post pics of 285's please
 

does anyone have any pictures of 285's out back? ive always liked the look of the wide tires on the back, but i saw 275's the other day and it didnt really stand out, but my friend has 295 bfg dr's and they look mean. i would just get 315's but ive decided on 17inch z06 wheels and 285 is the largest that will fit on a 9.5. thanks alot!

My Nitto 555's look about the same width in the 275 size too (note the 275 Kumhos on teh front, they look skinny)

I'm with you NxLS1496 275's just don't look big enough. I went with 275's when I put my TTII's on but wanted 285's but for the BFG's it was just to pricey for that little bit more tire. On a 9.5 wheel my 275 kinda turn inward at the tread I want them to be bulging over the rim a bit, the 275's just don't do that.

exactly, and what pisses me off is the z06 wheels i want only come in 17x9.5 at the biggest. sure i could get 18x10.5 but then we have evem more rub issues because thier 18's + more traction problems + extremely expensive ass tires = extreme pain in the ass. so either i get 285 nitto's....275 nitto drags....or switch to zr1 wheels w/ 17x11 and get some 315's :devil: .....decisions decisions....

If you are bold, slap some 315/35/17 BFG KD's on those 9.5" Z06's.

this is my brothers 96 Trans Am,

Here comes the "thats not safe" camp.. :eyes:

Forget the safety part (which I agree with) but the look of those does not seem right. Too much sidewall sticking out past the wheel IMHO. But to each his own I guess.

how about some pics of the 315 on the 9.5 from the rear. yea its all going to start with thats not safe watch....

lol saw that coming. thats what i dont get though why is it not safe? i had 225's on the back 15x7 rims of my v6 mustang and they looked the same and i never had any problems, i beat the shit out of those tires too. i think they look fine like that.

What offset and size are they?

Looks like practicly Zero offset ^^^

285's on an 11 but hard to see...
