275 = 10.8 inches

315 = 12.4 inches

Me gusta google

You better have some mini tubs in the back to fit a 12.5 inch rim. Or were you looking for rim sizes to fit those size tires? In that case it would be 9" up front, 11" in the rear.

i don't really know how to answer that. I've seen 17x8., 17x9.5 and 18x9.5.

so i wanna know what tire sizes i need to wrap around the 17x8 and 18x9.5 as i think that's the combo i want to go with.

use the same tires sizes i used on the wife's car. 17x8.5 with 255/45-17 and 18x9.5 with 285/35-18

sounds good. i'll prolly get 40's though, not 35 and 45's ... i saw the pic on her home page and didn't like the difference

well, do what you want. just remember to keep the tire diameters the same or you'll have ABS and braking issues because of it.

11'' wide wheels will fit 315 tires
9.5'' is good for 285's
