Default Black TTM pics

I received them last week, 17X9.5 & 17X10.5 and am now just waiting to receive my car back to mount them, getting some true duals put on. Can anyone tell me if 275's will fit on these 10.5" rims.

Also, is there anywhere I can shop for center caps, a TTII center cap would go very nicely

ehhh....gonna be close. if you do the math 275mm is about 10.8 inches. so they migh barely fit but they wont look right. just get some cheepo 315 like sumitomos. do me a favor and shoot me a pm when you get them mounted im dying to see them on.

A 285 is as narrow as you should go according to the sticky.

Yea I saw that sticky but then read somewhere else that its possible to use that combo. I know it would look funny but the 275 GS-D3's that I have now have a good amt of tread on them and wud hate to have to sell em and get a much less quality tire the Sumitomo's to save $$$. Guess ill have to wait and see what Mavis says when I try and get em mounted.

1496 ill shoot you some pics when they finally do get mounted.

BFG has the widest 275's. I had 285/40/17's on my 35th wheels and they were almost the same size as my 315/35/17 Nitto 555R's on my 11" ZR1's.

Just go with the Sumitomo tires. I did and they do have horrible traction, but at least they go round and round. They don't look the best either, but if you are short on cash now, at least you won't have a car with SKINNY tires in the back. Here is a picture of mine with Sumitomos for a reference.

I can answer that. He got them from Tomzwheels and paid 739.00 for them before shipping costs, unless of course he got them from another American Racing authorized dealer, where he probably paid more.

Why don't you just get another set of GS-D3's for the rear and keep your current 275's for when your fronts wear down. If you dont wanna get some GS-D3's for the rear go with a cheaper tire like the Sumitomo or a Nitto drag. Either way you'll be using your current 275's somewhere.

Funny that you said that, I have BFG 285/40/17's and they are as wide as my buddies 315/40/17 Nittos. Weird.

01bird58, the rims look great, I'm sure you're goin nuts waiting to put them on. Don't forget the pics!

Also, does anyone have a pair of some 315 GS-D3s mounted on the 10.5s, I have yet to really see or hear anything about this. I have 9.5 and 11 inch ZR-1s with brand new Goodyears, and this is the only thing holding me back. I dont want the tires to bulge a whole lot. The sticky says only 285s or 295s on a 10.5, but I dont want to buy new tires as I rather like the rediculously wide look the GS-D3s give the car (aside from the $$$). Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
