3V2000GT · 04-19-2006, 05:04 PM

Ok i am going to get soem DR's for the summer and want to know what is a good DR for 17x9, I want to be as wide as i can in the back without it looking reatrded

spike_africa · 04-19-2006, 06:37 PM

315 is max.

csledd · 04-19-2006, 06:43 PM

you can run 315's on 17x9s??? i thought you had to have 10.5's for that business

i run some 275s on my 17x9s

DarkShadow04 · 04-19-2006, 07:04 PM

thought so too

3V2000GT · 04-19-2006, 07:33 PM

Anyone have any links to any good DRs???

spike_africa · 04-19-2006, 08:08 PM

315 nittos fit 17x9. thats the biggest you can go. ask any cobra guy who runs nittos,m/t's,BFG's on stock wheels.

people also say you can run 275 on a 8" wheel though

Guy I know has BFG DR 275/35/18's on his 18x9's and they look huge. I think a 275 BFG DR would be perrrrfect for a 17x9

I ran a BFG DRs 275-40-17 0n my 17x9.5 Torque Thrust IIs, fit perfect actually BFGs run a little wider.

HERE are the nittos on a 17x9, they buldge a bit but i think it looks mean thats how my nittos look on my 17x8's.

and on a 10.5

I like the first pic i have 275/40/17 nittos on there right now but i guess if 315 works i'll go with that for the DRs i want them to look real mean

First hand experience the look of the 275/40/17 on Spikes car is just mean looking I know what i'm getting next time gives a nice offset to the front too
