Got a super deal on a pair of AFS 10.5" rims on eBay then put some Nitto 555 285/40/17's from Discount Tire Direct .

Nice firm ride, and no rubbing anywhere or removal of quads.

I chose the 555 extremes so I could get the 300 tireware rating.

White Devil - FMS Cobra R 17/9 rims on the front with 255/45/17 Nitto 555 extremes

Suspect - The Nitto 315's only have a 100 tireware rating.
I would have had to rearrange the drivers side exhaust to git it to fit.
Plus, it rains alot here in Fla., and with my lead foot, i'd be in trouble.
Also, the Nitto 315 is only about 3/4" wider than the 285's anyway.

Thanks,Dewman

I like the looks of those tires. Do they sell the 315s. I have 17x11s. Thanks

Methodical - Disc. Tires Direct has Nitto,BFG,Yoko's and other brands in the 315/35/17 size. Most are going to have a tireware of 100.

Nitto only makes the drag radial in the 315 size. I wish they would make the 555 in the 315 size. That would be an awsome tire.
