I really love the look of the 10.5' deep dish bullitt replicas w/ 315's but I have spent to much $ on my cars suspension to buy wheels and tires that will adversely affect the whay the car handles. The set up I was thinking about was 17x9's up front with either 255 45's or 275 40's and 17x10.5's with 315 35's out back I could down size the rears to 285 40's but on a 10.5' rim??
315's and handling

Absolute smallest tire on a 10.5" I would put is a 295, but only if I had to. 315 is a great match for that size rim.
I just got a pair of 315/35-17 BFG drag radials for my 17x10.5 Bullitts and I couldn't believe how they handled. I was driving around with the stock front wheels on, the left front is worn pretty bad (I had to replace the right front after developing a hole in the sidewall). Let me tell you, the rear end of the car felt like it was on rails. The front tires were hitting their limits LONG before the rears would even make a chirp.
4 wheel drag radials, or Nitto's 555R II......
