If you have upper and lower control arms, you can remove your quad shocks. i have 17x10.5 deep dish and im running 315/35/17, they are the same tire height as the stock 245/45/17, the only thing i saw as a problem was they rubbed my 3.5" exhaust tips a little bit.

Wow, this has been asked a million times

Run a 315/35/17. If you're worried about your quad shock flip it around

Almost everyone around here with a 10.5" rim runs a 315/35 just because it's redily available and it's the same size as the stock 245/45

Take the damn things out if they are rubbing. I don't have any in and my car rides great. Then you can run like a 335 . Kinda over kill, but looks hot.

I'm debating between a 285 and 315 myself for the rear. I've heard some guys say the 315 can get sloppy on wet roads. What does everyone on here say???
