Moving to "Wheels and Tires".

There are people running 315's on 17x11's on all 4 corners for Auto-X. People have put 335/35-17's in the back. Takes a bit of inventiveness.

Most stop at 17x9.5 with 275's or 285's in the front, and use the 17x11 315's in the back. There's info in the FAQ.

I have 17x11 315 rears for a street, and it's already wide enough to make a back of the car dirty pretty quickly. 275's IMHO, fits much better.

I had 315s on my 17x9 ss rims, never had a problem. I would definately have a larger rim now to put 315s on
