What size tires for 17 x 9, 17 x 10.5 wheels?

[Zorro]

I'm debating how wide I want to go in the front. I dont' know if 275 in the front might be too wide causing tracking. I know for sure I want 315 in the rear. What sizes do you recommend. Is it 315/35 in the rear or 315/40. How about the fronts? These will be going on bullits by the way. Thanks for the help.

315/40's in the rear, maybe 255 or 265 40's in the front?

Rear sound right. the front you can go with 275 or 265 and youll be fine

I have 255's up front with no issues. Definately go with the 315's in the back.

I have 275/40 Nitto 555's up front and aside from a slightly reduced turning radius and minor rubbing on the fender liner I am happy. I have Steeda Sports though, so if you arent lowered you probably wont have any problems. Also, if you go 315's it may run on the tailpipes, quad shocks, and fender liner. Just so you know, but its easy to fix with a hammer.

I'm putting a set of the deep dish bullitts on my car as well, and in the same boat needing tires. I have a vert, with 315 still fit NO PROBLEM? If theres any chance of problems, what would be the correct size down? I down really feel like fooling around trying to put 315s if sometimes they have rubbing or fitment issues.

Anyone have a picture of 315s on a 99+?

Def. a 315/35 for the rear. This size will also fit a vert. I have a 295/35 on the rear of a vert with an 18X10 rim and I plan on upgrading to a 315/30/18 soon. plenty of clearance!

315/35/17s in the rear, 275/40/17s in the front. I have these tires on my Cobra R's, looks real badass.

Im gunna get the deep dish black bullitts for my silver vert, and as far as the tires I'll get cheap 315/35/17 and 275/40/17s... thanks for the advice all.

Any real disadvantage in buying cheap tires if I don't race my car much at all?

I have to say that looks really really sweet..
