I would like to see how they fit. Especially looking for BFG Drag Radials and Nitto 555R Drag Radials. Thanks for any help.

I have 315's on a 17x11 but good luck getting them on a 17x9.5... I know you could go with a 285 but a 315 I highly doubt it and if you did get it on it wouldn't be helping things you would probably get bettr traction with a 285 because it would fit properly..

I agree 315 is way too wide for a 9.5" wide rim. 315's are about 12.4" wide, that menas that they will be about an 1.5" wider on each side, then the rims on which they are mounted. That is a lot of overhang. I doubt most shops would mount them for you.
