I need help!! I need help deciding what tires to get

98stangg · March 29th, 2011, 08:44 PM

Im getting 17x10.5 black deep dish bullitts on the back of my 2002 gt. I cant decide to go with 275/40/17 or 315/34/17. Im kind of low on money but i still want it to look good. please give me you inputs on what you guys think i should do.

Thanks,
Tommy

What tires did you have in mind? The 275s are too small for that wide of a wheel in my opinion. It's going to be stretched too much. If the 315s are Nittos, which generally run small, than I would go with the 315s. I'm running Nitto NT05 315/35/20s on my 20x10" wheels with no problems.

They are not going to nittos. They will be Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z Tire from american muscle..

Definitely go with 315s. 275s fit perfectly on a 9" rim and would look horrible on a 10.5" one.

ditto
a 275 would have to stretch to much to fit that and look silly and perform worse

I'm getting those same wheels and also looking for tires. Anyone have any opinions on those summitomo's? I haven't really been happy with my nittos, and I don't want drag radials, but I'm also looking for something relatively inexpensive
