Default Difference between 315 and 275 tires on a deep dish

There has been many questions about th 10.5 in wheel and how a 315 looks compared to a smaller tire 275. First we have the 315s.

The 315's look perfect. The 275's look plain stupid on the deep dish rim. I hate it when people put tires that are too little on a rim that's big. rotest:

275's look too homie the way they dont fill the rim, a full fitting tire looks much better plus the meat is the shiz....

1StockGT,

Did you have any problems with clearance with those wheels? I'm looking at getting hooked up with some 315's and need to know if there is a clearance problem. Also, what is the rim size I will need to get this set up? Do I need 10.5's to do it, or can I go smaller?

I have 10.5's out back with 315/35/17s and they dont rub at all no matter how I drive...I also run 275/40/17's up front on 17x9 rims and they rub a tiny bit only when the wheel is fully turned...but come to think of it, now that I have lowered my car the front tires dont rub anymore.

I haven't had any clearance issues. I also have the 17x10.5s with a 315/35/17. Since the pic I posted above have lowered my car 1.5" and haven't had any rubbing problems. I also still have the quad shocks still on too. I'm pretty sure you're going to need 17x10.5s, the 17x9s aren't wide enough for the 315s. I think the widest you can go on the 17x9s is a 275.

Sorry took so long to respond.

18x9 in front with 265/35/18.

Both fit perfect with no rub.
