Not all 315s are the same width. So people have to be more specific on tire. I think the 315s vary by about 2".

True, the Nitto 555 DR's seem to run a bit small. My 555's (non dr) were a great fit and width for me. I ran them with the MM IRS bolts and no spacer/no rubbing.

What ever you pick, jack the back of the car up and check your inside clearance at full droop.

When the suspension is fully extended is when the inside side wall is closest to the IRS subframe mounting bolt.

If it touches at full droop a spacer or a low profile bolt head will be needed to avoid cutting the inside of the tire.

The Sumitumo with the lowest tread wear number actually hooked like CRAP.

Not a big fan any more.

Great advice as always Jimmy. I cheated and used a grinder and ground down my bolt to 1/4" tall. Then spray painted it black so I could run 17x10.5" with M/T 315s.

Here is a tire cheater sheet. Does not have all but some major ones:
