    Nitto looks like it may be the way to go, I just wish they made a wider DR for a 17" wheel bc their 315 is so much narrower than my Hooier 315

    I may just say f it and go with the Hoosier 335s... Decisions decisions

    Really, how wide are your Hoosier 315's? My Nitto 315's are 12.5'' wide. How wide are your rims, the pic looks like a stock 17x9?

    No, I have a 10.5" rear wheel, and the pics i've seen they look pretty small. My Hoosiers don't look wide but they are just about as wide as my GS-D3s were, maybe wider:

    I'm not sure if the 18+" 315 is any different than the 17" Nitto 315 (if you aren't running a 17 inch tire that is) Maybe it's just the pics I've seen, bc if it's 12.5" wide then it should be about on track with most 315s I would think

    Here is what my 315 GS-D3's looked like as far as width. Idk how these look in comparison to your Nittos but they just don't seem to look as wide as these DRs do for some reason, and again it may just be the pics:

    I got 4k out of my nittos but that was with a few trips to the track and some bog boy burnouts. Im going with a 345 BFG. I dont have the stock rear in it. Im also on 18x10.5s, Im gonna have a buddy at discount tire mount them and see if they will even fit on the rim. If not Im gonna get mine widened.
