315 is gonna look funky on 17x10. I saw 315s on 17x9.5 and the sidewall was at a 45* angle. try 295s

315 is almost 13" inches wide, that's way too wide to look right on a 10" rim. if you want to go with 315, get an 11" rim

Alright, how about 17x10.5 with 315's. I like a little rubber over sides of rim.
