Hi everyone I need some help with tires!


I want to put 18" bullitt rims on my 02 GT I have 17s on right now. But I want to put 315s on the rear. I want to know if that is possible? Will it sit flush?

Is there a big difference between 17s with 315s on the back or 18s with 285s. I know it would e cheaper to just keep the 17x9 on the front and go with 17x10 on the rear is that a more logical choice?

You'll need at least a 10.5" wheel to fit 315s. Yes, there's a huge difference between 285 and 315.

If u want 315's go 17 for safety 315's work on an 18' wheel but its really pushing it and the difference between 285 and 315 is a pretty big difference in width

Yeah I was going to put 17x10s or 18x10s in the back. I want 18s because I think appearance wise they look better more flush but Im thinking its going to be really expensive buying 4 new rims and 4 new tires.

The more I look at prices it's looking like I'm just going to buy 17x10 and go 315. Any recommendations for the front?

 

[schmitty426]

17x9 265-275 either or

You can fit a 315 on a 10'

 

[schmitty426]

Are the 17's 10.5s?

Yes they are I'm sorry I don't mean to be confusing writing 17x10! http://www.americanmuscle.com/anthracitebullitt-17x10-set-9904.html

315 Pirelli on a 10'

That's the package I wanted to buy. I have 17x9s on the front and back I believe. Is there a way to check if I have 10.5 on the back? Sorry if that's a stupid question I've never really cared about tires in the past this is my first time actually buying tires not just telling a guy "put the cheapest ones on" and Handing over money.

 

[schmitty426]

If u haven't done so already lol

I mean the rim I have on now. Because I'm assuming that I have 17x9 on the whole car. Is there a way to see if my rims are bigger or no?

 

[schmitty426]

If the rears are above 275 then they are 10's

Usually 18s need the fenders rolled for a wide tire.

They are 255 I believe. I needed to buy new rims anyway two of them have really bad curb rash from the previous owner so I guess it needed to be done anyway. Ill just rotate the curb rashes one onto Craigslist. I've also read on here that these anthracites have a slight discoloration from the factory rims. Anyone know if that's true?

I'm going to stay with the 17s but what is fender rolling I've seen that term alot and have no idea what it is.

Idk if 255's go on a 9' tire hoestly I don't know sounds like a 8' tire... stock is 245's so I think u have 8' wheels all around

Yea me too, you will need to roll them if you are dropped.
