New Wheels/Tire Width Question

[ThunderMug95]

The shot is angled...slightly. no rub on control arms...slight rub on track bar but its because of the sidewall lugs on the Falkens.
That day I took the shot, it was aligned. But not very well. Took it to my NTB and had it realigned back in spec.
Just note, no fender flares.

Go to rimsntires.com ... They have a comparison program on their site ... Plug in stock size, and plug in your new sizes, and it tells/shows you everything you need to know

This one works well too. Actually shows them side by side both diameter and height.

The original tires looked tiny, so I put on 315/70-17 mounted on Hummer H2 rims. (from my old truck) I liked the height, but they did stick out a bit. I wanted narrower tread for snow, so I went with 275/65-20 and really like them.

I do not understand why anyone wants tires sticking out from the fenders

Personal preference, looks, and in some cases you add the width to offset an increase in height due to a lift, to maintain a stable center of gravity ... But mostly badass looks

Thanks for the pic. What is the offset of those H2 wheels?

Yeah it looks good I think. I had 35s on 20s before and it definitely looked stuffed. I do believe going from 20s to 17s and from 35s to almost 34s made it look good with minimal change. More side wall makes it deceiving.

How's it drive compared to the 35s? I got some 315s on 17s I'm currently running and when it comes time for tires I'm really considering dropping to the 285 75s. I don't really think it'll look all that different, and it should drive a bit better....still having this inner conflict.

Looks a little better not stuffed. Cant tell any difference for performance. The ride is a little softer going from 20s to 17s. Your ride will be better since your 315 and I am 285/75R17
