I have a picture of my 315 MT drag radials compared to 325/50r15 ET Streets and mine are wider by almost an inch. They fit absolutely perfect on my 17x11 TT2's. If I can I'll snap some mounted pics later today.

I went to have everything mounted up today, got to Discount Tire and lo and behold. I had 3 17x9 and 1 17x10.5
I can tell you one thing for sure............
A 315 Mt will fit on a 17x9 rim................Looks like **** though!!!
The guy was going to town mounting them and I caught him and said "WHOA!!!!, Something ain't right !!!
NO big deal, I called tomz Wheels and they will get it straight on Tuesday
Of course I got in before the GP

I could put the picture up sometime this week if I could get my cell phone to connect to my computer. If not Ill snap a picture of the two tires mounted.

People that's overall with measured where the tire is the widest not treadwidth. The treadwidth on a 315 mounted on a 11" rim is 11.7" while a 325 mounted on a 10" rim is 11.6"...

Both tires have a similar contact patch but the 325 is wider overall because it's a 50 series with a wider/thinner sidewall that buldges out a little.

That's a helluva lot of weight reduction you've done there, Keith. 
Rims and tires should look really good when you're done. Looks like you've pulled the rearend, too. Story?

they are honestly a little better on the street. i thought they might work a little better on the wet roads than the other tread design, but they really dont help that much more.
