315's look best on 10-10.5 rims.

it is going to look like hell. here is a picure of a 315 on an 8" wheel. It isnt going to look much better than this.

I have a set on 17 X 10.5 rims, they look great.

my only complaint is there are only like 5 tires available.

Sumitomo's (cheap)
Kumho
Nitto's
BF Goodrich (DR only??)
Goodyear (Expensive)

If you stay with the 295's on the 17 X 9 rims, you have like a million tires to choose from

hes putting them on a 9" wheel....of course they look good on a 10.5

295s on a 9" is still too big

OP needs to find a nice set of 275s and call it a day
