So I finally got my butt in gear and mounted some Nitto Dr's on the extra pair of chrome Zr1 rims i had laying around. they will go on the car tomorrow while doing an oil change...
Rims are 17'*9" with 315/35/17 DR's...

looks sweet!!! I love the tread pattern on nittos! How well did the 315's fit on the 9" rim?
they fit perfectly! no issues at all...
Great choice! I love mine!
They do look to be buldged out from the rim. They do fit though nice to know!Quote:

Holy shit you fit a 315 on a 9" rim?? I got 9.5" rims from discount tire and they told me my old 315s wouldnt fit... and i bought brand new 555 275s from discount too dammit
looks mint...surprised they fit as well as they do..guess i should be able to fit some on my 9.5s no prob then
I have been looking at getting some of those
If you're thinking about it, get them! They kick so much ass, i had a set saved over after i sold my mustang. Discount tire will give you a great deal on a set too, make sure you call them dont just order online!
I did see a deal on line from discount tire for 272.00 free shipping
272???? there 149 a piece for 275s and 170somthin for the 315s....whered u get 272? lol
He probably meant for 2 of em?
Yes that was for 2 of corse sorry
damn 270 for 2 is a killer deal, i spent 330 on my 2 275 nittos.
post up some side pics of the wheel standing up or on the car pics...... Thanks man!! I will be needing to order some more Nitto's for my extra pair of 10spokes soon and I have been running the 275/40's for years. But noticed recently that the Nitto DR's run narrow compared to other brands. Also this pair of rims is for rolling out to the track or get togethers, not daily or auto X.Quote:

i will try to get some pics up ASAP. they are on the car now and have 50-60 miles on them...
no they do not look buldged out from the wheel. they actually look quite nice. no leak or bead issues at all. i keep them at 28-30 psi. that's all, so there is more tire to the pavement...Quote:

not safe... should've installed them on 11" rims.
btw, you have no performance gain whatsoever installing 315s on a 9" compared to a 275 on a 9"... you'd actually hook better w/ 275s... cause the tire would be properly mounted
