I just received my black bullits. I got 17 x 9 in the front and 17 x 10.5 in the rear. I know I want 315s in the rear. I don't know what series of tires in the front. Should I go with 245s or 265s in the front. Would it be 315/30 or 315/35 in the rear? Would it be 245/45 or 245/40 or 265/40, 265/45 in the front. I just want tires that would match nicely and ride good for daily driving and good performance, I'm not much of a tire expert so any advice would be great. Also, I know BFGs are the best thing out there right now, but I don't have a 1,000 to spare on tires. I heard Nittos are good any other good street tires out there that wont break the bank, not looking for drag radials, just a good street tire. Thanks stangers. Btw what tire psi. for street use.

Here's my two cents

This is one setup I'm considering.
275/40 - 17x9
315/35 - 17x10.5
another one ,maybe...
255/45 - 17x9
285/40 - 17x10.5

Good luck with it ! post final results

I think from www.wheelreplicas.com mabey wrong though.


And mikey's car needs those 10.5's. Even those don't stand a chance for offering traction with the amount of power he's putting down.

I have the same size rims as you and went with the following Nitto tires:
Front: 255/40 ZR17 92W
Rear: 315/35R-17 102V

Handles exceptionally well!
