A 315 nitto will fit on a stocker rim but it sucks on the highway, and isn't safe. It really should be on a 10.5.

Wrong section BTW.

They'll fit on the stockers, but will become unstable with high speeds.
The 10.5's are definitely the way to go. :biggthump

even on the highway??? I want some for my 03 rims but I want to make sure the 315 nittos will work good at high speed 70+

Me and another guy run the Nitto 315's on the stock Cobra rim and we've had no problems at all! And they've been GREAT on the highway even at speeds well over 100mph .


btw at the track with this tire combo I've been the best of 1.67 60ft! good fit good seal:biggthump

315/35/17's are not safe on the stock rims (17x9's). Can you get them on yes, but they're not recommended.

However, the Nittos are an exception. For whatever reason, the 315 Nitto DRs run small (are similar in size to a 285) and will work fine on the stock rims.

I'm sure Todd or Kevin has a pic of REAL 315 tires on their cars, compare that to my pic of the Nitto 315's below:

10.5 wheel looks much better too

I've seen many a Nitto 315 on 9" wide wheels. Not much bulge suprisingly.

Not a good idea you will get uneven tire wear. Not safe as someone said.

The Nitto 315's run a lot smaller than any other 315, therefore they work fine on the stock wheel. They DO fit on the stock rim, but buldge SLIGHTLY. I have been at speeds well over 100mph, been to the track and drive regularly on the street. I have had NO issues at all, not even in the rain. Heck, they hook better in the rain than the stock Goodyears did! The best thing to do though, is get 10.5 rims. I would, but they don't make the 10th ann. wheel in 10.5. :biggthump It sounds like the people saying they are not safe, do not have anything to base that statement on...! The drag radial was originally intented for street cars that made the occasional trip to the track...for those that didn't want to run slicks while driving around town, but could still drive on a DOT approved tire on the street. It is a better compound for DRY traction, street or track! On a side note, they do have soft side walls, so this would not be my tire of choice for highway only driving, but unsafe......no. I wouldn't say their fitment on the stock wheel is so radical to become a safety hazzard.
