Talking help with tires!!

does anyone know if 285's will fit on the 17x9" bullitts they sell here??? I don't want to go with the deep dish, because 315's are a little too big for me(I like to play alot, and that's too much rubber for now) or does anyone have a pic of 285's on the deep dish buillitts??? I just don't want that tire too small for the rim look. Oh, and do the rims come with that cobra center cap here, or can you get the stang??

285 width tires will fit on a 9" wide wheel no problem.

275's are the perfect width for a 9 in. wheel. I just put 275's on mine and they are a perfect fit. 285's will buldge out to much on the side walls. :icon_salu

a little buldge wouldnt hurt. I'd rather scrape the tire than my rims on the curb.

I have 18x9 with 295 so if you go a bit smaller it will not be a problem

Any answers on that one?
