315/35/17 is good

hmm...thanks.

should i expect any difference in handling, speed, or just the feel of the car with these on the rear?

Depends on the use. If you go with 315's they will all be DR's or REALLY expensive street tires. OR, get 285/40/17's. There are some nice options out there in that size. It's what I use.

Sumitomo makes 315s about $150 ea from TireRack.com. I've had them on for a year now and am pretty happy with them.

Crap, I forgot about that tire. That's a good option. The tread pattern on those are really wild and on such a wide tire you will really see it. That may be good or bad. I have the Ecsta 712's and have had the sumi's in the past. Not sure what i will do when it is time to get new ones again.

I wouldn't go narrower than a 315. I hate when the sidewall flexes in because the tire is too small.
