Re: nitto 315's on 17x9 ZR1's problem is that i alreay have the 315's brand new, friend gave them to me and now my back tires are bald. I've seen it done before i just don't know what to do for them not to rub with it being lowered.

Re: nitto 315's on 17x9 ZR1's When I got my Ws6 wheels, they had 315 nittos on them. I didn't have any rubbing issues, but I sold them and got some 275s ASAP. I didn't think it looked good, nor had any performance advantage. Not to mention unsafe.

Re: nitto 315's on 17x9 ZR1's when i ordered my 315's from tire rack they held the order until they called me and verified the rim was bigger than 10" it was going on. the guy said some crazy people try to stick these on 9" rims... also if you check nittos sight i believe they are rated for a 10.5-11.5" something like that.

Re: nitto 315's on 17x9 ZR1's they do work, they do not make the car loose at all. I have had NO trouble, but I do not drive my car like a autoXer. the only time I'm hard on my car is in the 1/4 mile, but I don't drive like a 90 year old grandpa. I have no issues with the car being loose. I have been everywhere with this setup, no complaints.

Re: nitto 315's on 17x9 ZR1's IMO a 315 looks like absolute *** on a 17x11 wheel b/c the wheel is almost WIDER than the tire is. In the cases that I have seen the tire is just as wide as wheel and the lip of the wheel was pretty much even with the outside of the tire. I have seen SEVERAL people run 315's on 17x9 wheels with NO problems what to ever.
