Tire size for 17x10.5 FR500 wheels?
 

Can I put a 275-40ZR17 tire on a 17x10.5 FR500 wheel? I want to put the Sumitomo HTR Z II tire that they offer in 275-40 17 but they do not offer the size that is recommened for the 17x10.5 wheel(315/35-17) how much difference is there between the 275-40 and the 315-35? Jeffroandy

huge difference...for a 17x10.5 width rim...a 315/35/17 is the PERFECT size. Thats what I use and I wouldn't use anything else.

a 275 on a 10.5 rim looks like poo poo...it will fit, but you will regret it.

just get the HTR-Z's basically they are a copy of the Dulnop SP Sport 8080E...a very high performance tire that comes stock from the factory on cars like the BMW E39 M5...a 400hp beast.

A 275 on a 17x10.5 would look horrible :eek:

Thanks Guys!
 

O.K. you really helped me out, I was going to make a big mistake! I am going to go for the 315's I already have been getting prices of line. I checked with A.M. and they are out of stock on the front size, I need 275-40/17, but they do have the 315's. I am going to call them in the morning to check when they are going to be in stock. Thanks again guys you really helped me out. JEFFROANDY:)

try tirerack or discounttiredirect for tires. they have good deals

that's where I bought my 275/40/17's for my front 17x9's, and my 315/35/17's for my 17x10.5's.

overall i spent

$847.00 for all 4 tires between tirerack, and discounttiredirect. Discount gave me free shipping on my tires as well. tirerack I had to pay shipping, but it wasn't that much.
