I have the 10" wheels in the back, and the 315's don't even come close to rubbing. The actual physical measurement is 11.5" even though Nitto said they are supposed to be 12.4" wide, maybe I should let more air out of them?
The Pirellis were 10" wide on the 275's
The height is exactly as they stated at 28.6" the same height of the pirellis I took off.

Mike,
How is the grip with those tires? If i remember correctly they are drag radials right? I have 315 dunlop runflats and i cant even get grip if i gun it at 50mph....... pretty sad. I was looking into the vreedenstein(i dont know how to spell it) tires because ive heard so many good reviews on them from srt8 guys. How do you like yours?

The NT05 is not quite a drag radial but close, they are a little noisier, but I got on the throttle a bit at 35 and the car was going forward faster then it used to with allot more grip. Nitto is coming out with a NT05R which will be made with the DR compound.
This is the first time I've seen the Vredestein tires, I just went to their web page, interesting tire.

They are sticky as hell, I haven't had a chance to really get on it but I know what you mean about spinning at 50 mph, the Pirellis did not grip at all either.

The Vredestein tires have been becoming very popular as of late beause its such a great all around tire. Basically i am now torn btw the NT05, INVO, and the Vredestein. All 3 come with the tire size i want too!

I drove a SC Mustang a couple of months back with the 295 Invos and wasn't impressed with the traction. The car spun in almost every gear.
The only thing I noticed on the 315 NT05s is that they are only 11.5" wide not 12.4" as stated by Nitto. They will fit on a 20x10 wheel easily and I have seen them on other brands of wheels.
With what you are putting down I'm surprised that you haven't gone to an 11 or 12" wheel by now
and running a 335 or better.
