First of all despite people saying too many people having them, I will be buying black bullitts. The question is this, which combo is the best?

1.) 17 x 9's all around with 275 40 17 performance tire (nittos)

2.) 17 x 9 front, 275 40 17 and 17 x 10.5 rear, 315 35 17 with sumitomos

The problem is this...

I love the look of the deep dish and 315's but the sumitomos are not the best and I don't want to pay the extra for gsd3's. Another problem is the spare tire will be useless if I get a flat in the front w/ 13" brakes. I guess I want the best performing combo, but I also want the incredible appearance of deep dish.

Get a Cobra spare to accomodate your 13in rotors/brakes if you are worried about a flat. Or get AAA.

Ive seen 315-35-17 tires on tirerack.com for as low as $107/tire
