GoodYear F1 GS-D3
Anyone have them on their Stock 17 rims ? I was thinking of going with the 235/50 in the front and 285/40 in the rear, the tire dealer said we can go as far as 315/40 in the rear but I do not want to push it. My main concern is how the tire will fill the wheel well. I don't want it to look like I jacked the car up, the stock space there is enough for me. I also don't want to wind up having to drop my suspension and get new shocks, struts etc. because I am unhappy with the space in the wheel well.
Opinions and pics would be appreciated.

They said you can put a 12.4" wide tire on stock 17's? Aren't stock rims only 9" wide?

I did not know how wide the 315's would be, but did think too they would be too wide. This was the owner of a GoodYear shop. Any thoughts on the 285's in the rear and keeping the stock size of 235 in the front. I think that would give it a fairly good stance with some extra traction in the back.

I believe the GT500 is 245 front and 285 rear. If your going to do 315 on those rims, I would purchase and install at that guys shop. If it doesn't work it's on him. Even if the 315 is safe, I think there there would be more flex when turning.

The GT500 is listes as having the following size tires P255/45ZR18 performance front tires & P285/40ZR18 performance rear tires
18" x 9.5" GT500 unique bright machined wheels w/SVT center caps.
If the stock rims are 9" wide then the 285 in the rear will probably fit, I think I may just play it safe and go with a 275 in the rear and stick with the 235 in the front.
