Small favor, does anyone have a picture of this tire on a stock 17x9 rim? I am concerned that the tire will bulge out on the sidewall of the rim.

I'll get you a pic later. I've been running the Nittos on the stock rims with no problems or bulging for a while. A lot of my friends have to.
The Nitto 315's are a lot narrower than the BFG or Goodyears.

Suspension unloaded.


From the pic you can see how the full tire is not in contact with the road at street pressures.

315/35/17 Nitto's are the only ones that you can put on 9" rim.(because nitto's run small) Thats what Im running on mine. They dont look bad at all and I'm anal about stuff like that. I'll try to get some pic's up later.

Before C/O's.

After C/O's. And yes I will be raise the rear of my car up quite a bit. I like to keep an equal spacing between the tire and fenderwell all the way around the tire.

These tires are just to hold me over until I can afford to put some tires on my 18" AFS replica's.
