Default 315 tires on stock WS6 wheels?

I just bought this WS6 and it has 315 tires on the back. This looks good but Im starting to worry that it is unsafe on the stock wheel. Any advice?

Change them out. I'm not going to comment on how safe/unsafe they are but they are not really meant to go on a 9" wheel. Can't imagine they would wear that well in the long run anyways. Check the sticky up top for ideas.

what brand tires are they? stock 17x9 wheels? If they are nitto's they are more of a 295 the na 315. Just go kill them in a few burnouts and get some 285/40's

I would like to hear some stories about how a 315 tire on a 9'' wheel caused an accident.

Anybody got any?

The stock WS6 wheel is only 9" wide. A 275/40ZR17 is the perfect tire for that wheel.

A 315/35ZR17 requires a 10.5" wide wheel.

I would seriously recommend changing to the correct size, now that those tires are worn out.
