315 tires stock?

DickH · March 16th, 2009, 04:03 AM

Can I throw a 315 tire on my car without modifying anything? I know it wont fit the stock rim, but if I had a 10inch rim, would it all fit fine?

get a 10.5

DickH · March 16th, 2009, 04:13 AM

Whatever, 10, 10.5, its all the same. I was looking at these as I am very fond of black cobras on dsg stangs. I am just curious about it all fitting right.

You have to have a 10.5 rim and thats it, no mods

mustang_gtr_99 · March 16th, 2009, 04:38 AM

315 is the only way to go IMHO

mylilboostedpony · March 16th, 2009, 04:39 AM

275s are for 10's arnt they?

mrsinister2424 · March 16th, 2009, 04:43 AM

No, 295/305 are for 10's. You can fit a 315 on a 10, but 10.5 is best way to go if possible.

mustang_gtr_99 · March 16th, 2009, 04:49 AM

I was told that the largest that would fit my 10.5 was a 315 so how would it fit a 10

mustang_gtr_99 · March 16th, 2009, 04:50 AM

not saying your wrong but?

spokanemustang · March 16th, 2009, 07:37 AM

What if your car is lowered would 315s still work?

Theres someone on here wit a bullit that has i think 335's on a 10inch wide wheel with no problems.. Some people run 315's on a 9 inch wheel its not the smartest nor does it actually use the whole tire but it can be done.. I dont think you will have a problem running a 315 on a 10inch wheel

With a 17'' wheel depending on the aspect ratio you should be fine..

cigarmanva · March 16th, 2009, 10:28 AM

10.5 is the smallest i'd go to fit a 315

RAGEman · March 16th, 2009, 11:24 AM

I have 315's on my stock 9" cobra wheels.

There was another thread about this like two days ago. Look it up. It should tell you what you need to know.

you need to go to a smaller wheel/tire simply for the added benifit of better taste

spokanemustang · March 16th, 2009, 12:40 PM

lol.. im happy with my 20s thank you very much

njstang · March 16th, 2009, 12:57 PM

i run 275s on an 8" wheel and there is some sidewall buldge but nothing too crazy, imo 315 def way to go, even 275's look small on the ass end of the stangs

moosenuk17 · March 16th, 2009, 04:29 PM

good choice dick, favoite wheels on the new edges,

Yes, with the correct backspacing.

I personally wouldn't recommend a 315 for anything less than 10.5". Sure you can put a 315 on a 9" wheel if you want, but whats the point? It is just going to bulge, not look any wider from further away, and probably have less traction.

It's not just the sidewall bulge, but the actual tire tread will bulge, leading to less contact patch, uneven wear (centers of tread wears before outside), etc.
