I'm running that exact size. Fits good. You'll have to flip the quad shocks (or remove them). Also, depending on what tails you're running, you may have to relocate them, dump them (me ), or go with side exits. Depending on what brand tire it is, you may have to "roll" the inner fender lip as well (me again). An example: "Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's are wider than Nitto DR's". Here are mine.....

They fit on mine without messing with the Quad shocks or tailpipes. Go with them!! I thought I might include this funny picture comparing tire sizes..............

Yeah, but those look like Sumitomo HTRZ's. If so, my buddy has them & he didn't HAVE TO either. Mine HAD TO BE FLIPPED. No way around it. Like I said, different tire brands are different. The F1's I have are over 13" wide.... but I don't know exactly. I was just giving a "heads up" (not knowing what he'll go with).

Ahh gotcha! I think the sumitomo's are around 11" or so wide. Have fun with 315s either way..........

Mine fit, I run a 1/4" spacer, puts the edge of the rim out to the perfect location. With the nitto Drags my quad shocks clear by a MILE. They even clear my 3" tips. You can see in the 2nd pic how well the edge of the tire sits compared to the fender.

What size tires are you running up front? Will 245/45/17's fit on a 9" rim?

Yes they will, that's what I run up front on mine... they sit a tad bit higher than the 315/35/17s though.

Yeah, I've had that size up front. I thought they looked a little narrow for a 9" rim. Most people run 265/40 or 265/45. They look better!

YES

315-35-17 on TTII's 11x17 in rear.

I would look for 255's or even 265's (if you can find them) for the front, I have 275-40-17 on a 17x9 on front and I dont like the way it tracks on the road, there just alittle to wide.

Don't mean to flame anyone, but I'm starting to think they look too big. Never thought I would say that but this picture leads me to.

It does look kinda cartoon-ish, but they do look better with the bullit springs on, they lower the car about 3/4-1in around. Also that pic was taken from a very low angle so the tires kinda stick out more.

I do like how they fill the wheel well up, and bring the tire just to the edge of the rear wheel opening. The 94-98's have so much room in the rear tire area it takes a large tire to look right.
