315's on a 10.5 wheel? I read the wheel guide, and it said that you can fit a 315 on a 10.5 wide tire. Has anybody done this with out any problems, or should I stick with a 295?

Alright, I was just browsing and saw that, the looked up some tires and I think the only ones I could afford at 315/30/18 are the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radials
I've got 315/18 BFG drag radials on my 10.5" wide Fikse's, no problems. I would look into the matter a little more closely before putting a GS-D3 on a 10.5, but I would imagine you would be fine with either Nitto or BFG.
I just put a set of GSD3's 315s on a 10.5 wheel that I bought from TomZWheels and they look great! They looked better than the Sumitros (sp) that Tom sells. The tire has a better rim protector built in. You might want to check it out......

A Summitomo 315 is the narrowest i've seen and a the Goodyear is the widest. I wouldn't think you would have any problems with any of them.
I've seen 315's on a 9" wheel. Not recommended but i've seen it done!

Generally 315/30/18 works on 10.5-11.5" wheel width so you would be fine with that combination. Just be aware that the 295/35/18 ia about 0.5" larger in diameter than stock and 315/30/18 is about 0.2" smaller in diameter than stock (assumes 275/40/17 stock).

cool deal, I just wanted to make sure there weren't any problems I needed to look out for, it seems alot of people just go with the 295's. I didn't realize that many people went with 315's. Here's my next question, what is one of the best daily driven tire for that size that isn't going to rape me a new a-hole.

Now more and more 315's are out there, but they still cost an arm and a leg, speaking in 18" diameters.

Nittos are a pretty good tire. my roommate and i both use nittos and havent had a problem with them yet. we dont put down crazy power but it gets the job done. they are real expensive they get pretty good mileage out of them and once they heat up, they hook. tread pattern looks cool on them too.
