from what i read an been told on here, an just other friends around town here. Nope nothing you have to do just bolt right on?
Some people said might have to roll the inner rear wheelwell?
Some said they flaired it out as well? guess thats widening the finder
now depending on the offset/an backspaceing of the rim, too.

do you mean is there anything you have to do like get new wheels? if so yes im pretty sure according to tire specs you have to have atleast 10 inch wide wheels for most 315s, but ive heard of some ppl doing it with stock?!? idk, but i have them and im on 17x10.5 bullets. And if you're asking will they fit on the car, yes theyll fit.

You need a 10.5 wheel t ofit the 315's. Other than that no. Im running that combo on my '02 that is dropped with C-springs.

Cool, i'll buy new set of rims, 9inch front 10inch rear! Perfect!

Thanks so much all! =)

not true. I am running Nitto 315s on 9" cobra wheels with no problems.
Though I hear Nittos run a little small.

Wooow what a bulge

The 555's are the widest out of all the Nitto's like the DR/NTo5/NT01's when comparing same size to same size??

 

[02nightmaregt]

Yea the Nitto's do run on the narrow side. From what I have seen/heared the rule of thumb is usually no wider than a 305 on a 9" wheel. 1992 2.3LX, do you have any pice of your setup?

There is a little bit of a bulge but not much.

I have seen alot of termi's running nitto 315s on the stock 9 inch wheel but no other 315 will fit a 9 inch wheel

 

[02nightmaregt]

Yea those don't look bad at all.

 

[fshawn50]

Yeah those don't look as bad as I would have expected
Sorry bout the doubt
Looks good

post 12, now that's the living room of a single guy! I'm running nitto dr's on 10" rims. I'm not that impressed with them so when they wear out I may try some cheapo 315's.

This was the master bedroom at the time.

Now I am married and my wife let me build an oversized garage on the new house so I don't need to stash all the stuff in the house.
