One more question...

What are the offsets or backspacing of these wheels? I think I remember the rears being +46mm?

17x9.5 and 17x11, 275/40/17 and 315/35/17 Sumitomo HTR-Z tires. (CHEAP tires, 315s are like $110 or so each).

Toms wheels here - I love em. The sumi's arent great in terms of traction, but then again nothing really competes with a DR. The wheels fit well with just a little persuasion here and there.

It might just be me, but i couldn't find a price on his website for the Toruqe Thrust's ? I'll give them a shout here in a bit to ask about pricing and about the sumitomo's they recommend in that 315

I called Tom'z shop today for pricing for that setup

They are praising this sumitomo tire. I've heard both good and bad. Im not worried about traction as far as racing or getting on my car with these tires, as that is what my drag radials are for. Im just looking to see if its a great tire for everyday driving especially in the wet conditions. For those who have it, What do yall think ?

Its a good daily driving tire, and its dirt cheap. If youve got the money go with the GSD3s, but im fairly happy with the sumi, even in the rain, though being as wide as it is, will still hydroplane.
