i have the smae rims as you, most peole like the way the 315 nittos looks on them, meaty but not bulging over the edge. i also have stock width tires up front.keep in mind the nittos run narrower than other tires for some reason.

RE: Tires
I beg to differ I have identical Cooper brands and I have 275 for the summer and 245 for the winter. There is a huge traction difference for me at least. I. E. If I race from a dig, it is impossible to catch traction with my winter tires. In the summer tho it works out great.

a 245 tire compared to a 315 tire your not going to notice really any traction difference if you use the same tire, if you want traction go with a 275 nitto and youll hook perfectly fine.

i have a few with the DR on it but it might be tough to see. I have 2 sets of wheels so i don't usually have them on the car. i can take a few pics of the ones with the 315's on em quick if that would help also.
tough to see them in any of these pics.

I usually drive around on the 275 street tires and then switch them before i drive to the track. sometimes i get lazy and just leave the 315 drag radils on for a few weeks when i get back. so i guess the answer is i drive around on both sets.

If you put anything bigger than a 275 on a stock tire it'll wear funny. Even w/ my 275's set at the proper pressure on my stock wheels the middles of my rear tires were wearing out faster than the outsides. So I have to set them to like 24 PSI, now they wear fine. Get a 275 Mickey Thompson DR and call it a day.Those things are like glue when they're warmed up!
