17x11 will fit just fine. If you're wanting a budget tire for those then there's quite a few people that use the Sumitomo 315's. If you're wanting something for good launches at the track, then Nitto's or BFG both make good 315 drag radials.

Not too many low price tire choices when it comes to 315's. Something to think about if the car is a daily driver. Considering that 315's rubber compound don't last as long.

Sticky,softer rubber compound. 315's are a high performance tire size.

In a 315 you really don't have that many choices. The Sumi's are the best bang for the buck for a DD.

I think the only 315 that BFG makes now is the DR. It all depends on how much money you want to spend. A great street tire in 315 is the Goodyear GSD3, but you are looking at around $300 each. And you would be lucky to get 15k miles out of them.

I had Sumi's on my car at one time. They lasted me about a year, but I did not do any burnouts on them. They hook up great for the price you are paying like $98 eack. You cannot beat that!!
