Default 275/40/17 or 315/35/17????

My question is...what size tires can I get for the front and the back that will be best for me...

I have 245/45/17 all around now....

I was told I can use 315/35 for the rear for my rims....anyone got pics with those rims or same size rims and that size tires?

Heres the rims:

Thanks,

BTW what brand would be the best bang for the buck (not looking to spend more than $130 a piece or so)

315s fit nicely on a 10.5 inch wide wheel. plan on keeping the 9 inch wide wheels, 275s on the back is about as wide as you will want to go. A 275/40/17 has close to the same outside diameter as a 245/45/17.

You need a 10.5" rear wheel to run 315s get 275s all around unless you want new rims. Look at sumitomos for a good deal.

275 40/17 all around sport pilots
going with 10.5 rims and 315/35 17 if i can find a sport pilot in that size or 335, i know michilin makes that size. the 275 is great for hitting those corners, but they do follow the ruts in the road a bit. you get used to it.
