What tire company has the fat wide look in 315's

 

Anybody but Nitto and Sumitomo.

 

I can't help but laugh at that. Some poor grammar teacher failed.....

315 is a measurement; 315mm, so the width of all 315s will be the same, with only slight variation in physical treat width resulting from composition and width of wheel that it's mounted to.

 

Actually Nitto 315s are more like a 285...

 

LOL my bad i was in a rush and on the phone, but i made it sound right this time... anyway selling my 17x9.5 to get 18x10.5 c6zo6 wheels...

 

not uh!!! lol not all nittos are skinny. my nt01's 315's are close to 13.5 in wide!!!!

 

The 315 555R's are like 285's. They're gay.

 

That's pretty ignorant. Go to Summit and actually look at the info on different tires. All of them will have different tread and section widths. Just because they are a 315 doesn't mean they are all the same.

 

I have BFG's and they look like they have the greatest section widths.

 

What about GSD3s (what brand are they? Cant remember)? I hear they are pretty damn wide, and they definitely look it...

wrong. compare Nitto 315s to BFG 315s.....they all alightly vary from one another, with Nittos usually being way smaller than the others.

 

So will a Nitto 315 work on a 9.5 wide wheel?

 

dont even mention 315 tire and 9.5 wheel in the same sentence or the mod in this section will get real pissed about it, ask me how i know!!!

 

damn right he will... just get an 11" wheel if you want a 315. Nice looking car btw, like the black with the graphite ZR1s.

Goodyear GS-D3's are generally the "widest" 315's you can get.

 

Yea when my buddy first bought his Fikse FM5's he had the Good Years on there, but when it came time to replace them he didn't want to sheel out the extra cash so he went with a pair of Nitto DR's and they were noticably skinnier. Doesn't matter now though he only put a few hundred miles on them and took them off to trade his car in, wish I could afford to buy them from him.

 

is their any difference in the 10.5 wheels and the 11's .. i mean why have a 10.5 and not just 10 to 11'?????

 

Yes, one is half an inch wider

But seriously, if you are wondering if you can put a 315 on a 10.5" wheel, it has been done on here specifically with the TT-M wheels (not sure why they don't just do 11", you bring up a good point, but who the hell knows why they skip the last half inch). There was a post a while back by someone I believe with "kid" in their user name, comparing the GS-D3 315 tire to another 315, and it was unreal the difference. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it should be on here somewhere.

ok thanks for the inputs guys

 

Yeah, the GS-D3's are probably the widest 315 you can get. I had them on my Mustang and they looked more like 335's or 345's or something (on a 10.5 inch wheel).
