anyone run 17x10.5s??
 

Instead of going bigger, I was thinking of going smaller and wider for rims and getting some meaty tires out back ( I only use them from mid-April to late Augest anyways) 315/35/17s

Overkill??

Used to have 10.5 deep dish 17s. Had M&H 325/45/17 on them. They are still laying around somewhere. For pics go to the who has 315's in the rear thread

^^
which brand did you go with??

Sorry mate...been so long...can't remember

You will look like you are from Guadalajara with tires that size as they are only 25.7" tall.
That is 1.5 inches shorter than your stock tire height.

what size would you recomend??

Mickey Thompson 3745R
P295/45R17
28X11.5x17
Actual Height 27.5" (stock height is 27.2")
Will give you more MPH on top end and fill wheelwell better than a 35 series profile.
