Pics of different wheel and tire widths

[propellerhead]

Just in case anyone is wondering, here are pics of different tire widths.

1. 17x8 with 245/45-17 (stock)
2. 17x9 with 285/40-17 (Nitto street radial)
3. 17x10.5 with 315-35-17 (Nitto drag radial)

1. 2. 3.

I tried to make sure I took the pics from the same angle. They aren't perfect, but close!

Great idea! I must say I like the 285 tire on the 9" wheel.

good idea. some of them are sorta hard to see with the lighting though, maybe its just this monitor.

here is a 235 next to a 315 for another comparison:

That's what I'm running now. It gives it a solid and aggressive look without looking all nodified.

It's hard to see the difference when one tire is not mounted. That's why I posted the three pics above.

315's for teh win!

I cant fit 315's on my car now. With the current set up and 17x10.5 rims with 275/40's I can barely get my thumb between the tire and exhaust pipe. Maybe when I wear through these tires I'll see what I can do with the pipes.

my buddy has 315's on a 17x10.5 wheel and has no problems

Here's a couple of Goodyear comparisons...

Before - 245/45 Goodyear gatorbacks on 17 x 8 bullitts

After - 315/35 Goodyear F1 GS-D3 on 17 x 10.5 bullitts

A$$ shot
