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 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
