Default serious question...HELP

Ok I am in desperate need of new tires.....DESPERATE...k so what I was wondering is I have 17" black bullitt wheels, and the rear wheels are deep dish....I was just wondering how small of a tire will fit on the deep dish...Im running 315 in the back and 275 in the front.....I love the look.., 315's are just too expensive for a teenager like me...Thanks for all your help

Can't afford tires, but you can mod it... yup, sure.

BUT, I'm pretty sure you can run a 275/40 series tire on them, they WILL look like they have been stretched..

How long did these tires last... Because if you are doing donuts and burnouts no tires are going to last that long.
