Default 285/40r17 on 10 spokes?

should i do it out back? i know some people that have 315 nittos on them but that's a little big and probably unsafe. what about 295? i have 275/40 but am wanting a little more meat w/o getting rid of my wheels.

well that's not too bad. lots of people have told me that there isn't a big difference between 275 and 285 but i put them next to each other and there's a huge difference. i'd really like to get a 295 on the backs tho

ZR is speed rated.

295 is more of a 18/19 size.

Not much wider then a 285 anyway.
