Default Slightly taller DR for 17x11 ZR1 wheel?
Currently running 315-35-17's from BFG but want a little taller tire so I don't run out in the 1/4....anyone know of other options and/or have any pictures?

Thanks,

-Jarrod

I'll rephrase that, I can't seem to find any 315/40 or 45 DR's....I found a couple or articles using google that have people running nittos that size but they don't show it on their website.

go browsing on jegs or summit. You could go with 295 or 275.

I would think so. They're pretty narrow. M/T makes a 295/45/17 that's actually wider than these. It's shorter by 1/2 inch, though.

So will these M&H 325's look dumb on an 11" rim?
Has anyone been able to get anything from M/T recently? I wouldn't mind 1/2 shorter tire as I am thinking the 28's may not fit right since my car is lowered and I don't have adj lca's

Thanks for the input guys.

i would def. go with a 27" dia tire, whatever it takes. call stan about the 295/45 MT 17's. they will fit your rim fine.

How do the M&H 325/45R17 compare to the 315/45/17 BFG's? They aren't cheap at $230 a piece.

They're on my 11 inch Boyd's in the picture I posted above. I don't have adj. LCAs, either. Stock springs in the rear, lowered in the front. Here's some more pix:

looks great. I really want those. A 17" wheel with a taller wall on a 325, it seems like the perfect street/strip tire.
