Yes, you can put a 315/35/17 on a 17x10.5 with no problem.

NO, I had 275's on my 10" wheels and they were even with the rim. By adding an extra 1/2" you're rim will stick out 1/4" on each side and it will look silly! It's the same as putting 235's on a 9" rim. Look ridiculous
I wouldn't put anything smaller than a 285 or 295 on a 10.5" wheel and nothing smaller than a 245 on a 9" wheel

Agree with everyone but also take into consideration depending on what brand you go with as well. For instance a nitto 315 will actually be SMALLER than a summitumo 315, just thought I'd throw that in.
