Just wondering, has anyone become "used" to the 315s and now look just like normal sized tires? I think I've become desensitized to the greatness of my 315/35-17 GS-D3s or something.

Sure, you get used to them after a while.

I'd love to fit the 345/30/19 Nitto Invo on my car, but I don't have room.

Just be prepared to do more banging on the fender lip and inner fender well. They are bigger than the Sumitomos.

Be very careful with the Sumi's as they start to wear down. They tend to heat cycle very bad and get very slippery in the wet. Don't even get on the freeway in the rain if they are close to the wear marks. Replace them early if you can as they can be very dangerous.

They are only gonna be on my car during the summer and fall, where in NorCal, we get no rain lol. So I really dont have to worry about that. It should probably be 2 years before i ever have to replace these biatches lol. Considering I drive my car about 7500 miles a year lol. So basically these tires will only get about 4000 miles a year on them roughly. I should be lowering my car vey soon, but I think I have to get my fender lips rolled before I do so.

I know exactly how you feel.

I know deep down that they are still huge though.

Those look like Fikse FM/5s. What size are they in the rear? They look like they bulge a little more than my 17x11s.

Oh, and that is the SLP 2OTL exhaust. Check out my pic above as I have it as well. One of the best sounding catbacks!

I love threads like this. Makes me want to work more so I can get the parts to get my beastly 325/50/15 et street radials mounted on my Formula.

Then I've gotta get rid of the salad shooters and get some nice wheels with 315/35/17 gs-d3's for my Camaro.

drool. So why dont I ever see the 315s on 18 rims?

what sort of modding is needed for the 315s on 17s for the rear? I thought the sticky didnt mention and hammering or rolling of the lip/fenders. Maybe I was wrong.
