MK II rear tire size
Quick question, I have 17 x 10" rims, currently with 275/40/17 tires, looking at 315/35/17,. Just asking if they'll fit without any issues? I " think" they will, but would rather be safe asking prior to ordering. I realize I need to see 1st what my rim width is, but was curious if the 315s would fit..
Thank you all in advance. Ken |
Your rim may be just at or under the recommended minimum width for a 315/35-17 tire. The tire manufacturers and most retailers should have the recommended min./max rim width for the tires they offer. You could check this site to see if they have the tire you're looking for with rim width recommendations. https://tiresize.com/tires/Nitto/NT05-315-35R17.htm I have no previous experience with tiresize.com, just attached their site for easy information access.

A 10.5" rim minimum is recommended for 315 tires. If you intend to ever autocross of road race I wouldn't use a 10" wide wheel with a 315. But, having said that and as already mentioned, check with the manufacturers recommendations because some tires vary.
